In other words, you're unable to back up your absurd statements. Why am I not surprised......
Any decent history book will list those who controlled the federal government.
Then provide the name of one, just one, that will substantiate your statement that "the South completely controlled the federal government until 1860".
Lincoln was NOT typical and even he had no intention of starting a war over slavery.
Glad to hear one of you Linkinbots finally admit that Linkin started the war and that it wasn't over slavery.
My statements are not even controversial but to the the Lost Cause devotees. I know you folks love to post quotations taken out of context which often make the opposite point you are arguing. And you love to post the thoughts of others mine are sufficient to destroy the pretensions of the Lost Cause.
Why don’t you tell me where my comments are wrong with specifics?
You can’t even read a clear comment without drawing the wrong conclusion anyway.
The lack of an intention of Lincoln to start a war is to any RATIONAL person not a statement that he started a war and there has never been an argument that he fought to preserve the Union. It was fought by the SLAVERS for slavery not the North.
Naturally, I have said this a dozen times and you keep returning to the LIE that I have claimed it was over slavery for the North. IT WAS NOT. But it clearly and confessedly was so for the South.
If you can’t wage an honest argument then don’t bother.
