I don't know about great post. It's pretty much the same stuff that has been offered before. All Lincoln's fault, so on and so forth.

Liar, hypocrite. You’d have anyone willing to listen to you BS that the South did not try to negotiate with DC at all. It was a bunch hot heads doing what the wanted and DC be damned; when that is so far from the truth as to be embarrassing. So go f yourself non sequitur.

I especially like the part about “cooler southern heads prevailed” - that one prompted a chuckle ;-)
