And this is a very good point. If all the moralizers think it was worth killing 600,000 men over slavery, then why do they not make a concerted effort to wipe it out elsewhere?
Why it's almost as if they were more concerned about who was running things than whether or not slavery existed, especially when you notice they had no problem tolerating five slave states which remained in the Union.
You just keep insisting on setting up that straw man, don't you? By the way, how is slavery doing in those states today?
Thank you. I agree on your second point as well. This isn’t about slavery or states rights for them.
Our country needs a divorce. No matter the nature of the forum I look at, people are practically ready to come to blows over this- people who supposedly “think alike”. I dunno why we’re not better- more competent to resolve differences, than this by now, but apparently, we’re not. It’s not the South that’s trying to cram any demands down anybody else’s throat. We just want to be left alone to be ourselves & live our lives. smh How’s that for ironic?
