Now instead of receiving an answer to my question of Tuesday, I am getting a lecture on the basics of critical thinking.

Well, if you recognize fallacious arguments, why use them and demand a yes or no answer? Whatever NS answered to your question would be invalid, because your premise was flawed.

If it were anyone else but N-S, I would have received an honest answer to my original question and not the tap dance that I have been getting.

I am sorry, you have come in the middle of the argument and now you are changing it to say something I did not imply.

N-S could answer my question, but he is afraid I am laying a trap to blame Lincoln for the war and I have stated up front I am not.
