1. But four score and seven years prior (87 years to those from southern school systems) our fathers HAD brought forth a new nation. It was conceived in liberty and the Declaration of Independence had used the term '...all men are created equal'. Where is the inaccuracy in that?
2. He will call it a 'civil war' instead of a rebellion. Rebellion would have been more accurate.
3. Acutally the United States would have died, torn apart by a rebellious section engaged in an illegal act.
4. Read some of the compromise proposals offered by Toombs and Davis in 1861. No interest in 'government of the people' in those. More 'government of the people so long as the southern states agree'.
5. The Union soldiers fought to preserve the Union. The southern soldiers fought to destroy it. Simple as that.
Per your #12: there's nothing sacred about a "Union". Nationalism (as opposed to patriotism) only gets people killed...the Kid.
I've seen your jingoistic posts for so long that I am now amused at the repetition of the standard yankee line. Your points are so obviously false that they are laughable.
