He rejected that the war spelled the end to slavery in the United States, saying that the U.S. government could have simply bought the slaves from the Confederate States of America and freed them.

And what if they did'nt want to sell? It's this kooky, simplistic thinking that makes him extremely dangerous.

He’s playing to a niche market. Racists, confederate apologists, antisemtites, retarded IT workers, etc.

Indeed. In addition, the comments seem to indicate that he believes they could be "purchased" - ergo, human beings being the property of others was a legitimate business. Terrible.

[W]hat if they didn't want to sell?

I think Ron is referring to Eminent Domain. This was discussed prior to the Civil War.
