Yes, it's circular reasoning bullsh*t. They would immediately see what was wrong with what they are claiming if they weren't so intent on trying to believe it.

They don't try to understand or analyze motives. They simply want to buy into the narrative that was sold to the nation and has been taught ever since.

They just leap over logical chasms like Lincoln supporting the Crowin amendment, or slavery needing to "expand" in order to survive.

They just want to believe what they want to believe because they have been conditioned to buy into the official story.
