Yes, much more honorable to act on taxes than truly enslaving another human being and murdering, raping, beating them and separating their families, etc. etc. People died over independence over taxes and you say it wasn’t right for a movement within a country to work to abolish true slavery?? Just because something is state sanctioned does not make it right and the United States was wrong to allow slavery to continue for so long.

The top three issues with your post:

1) Opposition to John Brown's terrorist methodology does not indicate a support for slavery. Stop acting like it automatically does...because to do so is not intellectually honest.
2) Show me where I said that "it wasn't right for a movement within a country to work to abolish slavery"? You can't because I didn't say it. Stop doing that, it is not intellectually honest.
3) You cannot justify evil actuins in response to other evils. There were many who did not resort to evil acts and who behaved honorably in the same quest to end slavery.

Dude, YANKEES sailed the oceans blue to purchase their cargoes of human flesh. Rape? The percentage of mulattos was almost 4 times higher in the North.

Lincoln and Congress both stated that the war was for union, not slavery. Lincoln saw nothing wrong with an amendment making slavery permanent & irrevocable.

Yet a holocaust [abortion] has occurred here in the US, disproportionally murdering MILLIONS more blacks, and yet no one advocates Civil War to end it. And folks like you rail about a practice that was common and almost world-wide, but far more blacks have been butchered by doctors that violate their Hippocratic oath with each abortion.
