The point I was making is what counts.....

No mention of economics, tariffs, etc.

Davis only mentions slavery 3 times to the exclusion of all other causes......

OK, forget my characterization and read what Davis said in plain and open speech. I assume he was sober and of a sound mind.

OK, how else are we to construe that?

We all know that the war was about the democrats desire to spread slavery to every corner of the Union.

So move on along little democrat.

He said the things I mentioned previously.
