“The war was not about slavery from the Northern point of view. Only the Southern one”. Your words (since I can’t get italics to work I’ll do it this way).

If you understand the history of Nullification you would not agree with your own statement above? My words.

If you understood the history of the Southern rebellion you would agree with it. Your Words

I understand the history of Southern rebellion/Northern agression, it’s known as the Civil War. From the looks of the above statements it appears that in toying with others you have finally confused yourself.

I agree with a poster upthread, you aren’t ignorant of history.

Now, will you please quit having so much fun with us and tell me how to make the italics on my pc work again?!?!?

I can't find my link to the HTML sandbox, but the way to format italics is to use the "<" carat brackets on either side of an "i" to invoke the portion to be italicized and then to input the carats again, only this time use a "/i" to close the format.

For example: If I want to italicize the text "this is too hard" I would print <.i.> (without the periods)"this is too hard" and then <./i.>

Remove the periods and you get "this is too hard"

If you get stuck you can usually look for the kind of formatting you want to emulate and highlight it. Then right click on the highlighted text and select "View Selection Source". A window will pop up when that text displayed complete with the "invisible" HTML formatting.

Good luck!

Well, obviously not if that's the terminology you use.

Are you using the HTML tabs? To turn italics on you just preceed the words with < i>. To turn it off you enter </i>. So typing in < i> This is a test </i> will result in This is a test.

They have an HTML boot camp thread around here somewhere.
