f Lincoln was planning to fight over the issue of slavery, we should be able to read Lincoln’s first inaugural address and confirm it.

Your point is too subtle here. Most people are not aware that Lincoln said he had no objections to the Corwin Amendment. They don't know about the Amendment, and they don't know that Lincoln tacitly supported it.

They don't realize how contrary this is to the narrative because they aren't aware of any of this. You have to explicitly spell it out for them in order for them to comprehend it.

People who know about it can get your point. It simply goes over the head of those people (most) who do not know about it.

LOL, you’re so cucksure of yourself that you’re prancing around wondering why no one else is keeping up with you - only to find that everyone else is ten steps ahead.

Anyone who has looked into causes and considerations of the Civil War is aware of the Corwin amendment. You sneer that “It simply goes over the head of those people” when YOU were the only one in the dark.

I do see that you’ve modified your spin to “tacit” agreement - that’s a step in the right direction!

I can't deny you are right. You are right.

I'm in a back-and-forth with a poster on this board right now who has been on colostrum his entire life. Getting him to take solid food is proving to be very difficult.
