i note that you did NOT answer the question i asked you about what lincoln, the TYRANT, would have done about an INDEPENDENT Virginia.

i suspect lincoln would have, STUPIDLY, sent in invaders to "preserve the union" of the UNwilling.

one wonders how many INNOCENT civilians the invaders would have robbed,raped,plundered,tortured or MURDERED to return VA to "a subservient status with in the union".

I did not answer it because it was an idiotic question. Virginia was a part of the armed rebellion against the government and Lincoln acted accordingly.

One also wonders how many dead the south would have considered it worth sacrificing if they had won their rebellion. How many people was independence worth killing?
