so......we should have agreed to let black people remain in a LITTLE BIT of slavery?
On the flip side - it was a terrible loss of life and display of carnage for a group that decided to re-enslave itself to the masters of the DNC....
Besides, slavery was a sideline to the actual seeds that ignited the war...
Lincoln might do well in Europe today - "Want to exit the European Union? We'll destroy you, your cities and your families."
As much as certain semi-educated citizens and modern-day Blacks like to flatter themselves by preaching that the Civil War was about ending slavery, it was not. We had war when Lincoln called up troops to invade the South.
You mean like President Lincoln did when he famously "Freed the slaves?"
Except his Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves in the southern states.
He left it legal to own black slaves in the northern states.
The Civil War wasn’t about slavery. Slavery was the reason used by financial interests to gin up war sentiment in the north.
Slavery was already on the way out.
Land depletion and mechanization plus civilized opinion would have accomplished what it took Lincoln three years to declare.
the point was neither side was going to compromise - not that they should have. just because #fakenews takes it out of context doesn’t mean others should do so. also the subject came up in context of plaque at Christ Church - the church of Geo Washington and Robert E Lee. context is all, people. you went for the bait.
The abolitionists compromised from 1789 to 1861.
As a historical fact, Kelly is right. The Republican John Brown abolitionists beating Democrat white slave owners made compromise impossible.
