JCBreckenridge: "As soon as BroJoeK shows me evidence that the Confederacy planned to exterminate the black race, like Margaret Sanger of New York did the same."

Yes, I figured that would charge you up a bit JC, but underestimated your willingness to distort my words.

Remember, your question is: was the Civil War worth it?

If you wish to suggest the rosiest of possible alternatives, while citing no evidence to support that, then I can fairly suggest the worst possible alternative while citing just as substantial "evidence", right?

[JCBreckenridge]

The alternative of peaceful abolition of slavery which occurred elsewhere.
