I think any rational person would agree with my answer. And that, 3fan, is the source of your problem: rationality, or rather the complete lack of it.

I think that anyone that prefers slavery and the murder, rape, and beatings that go along with it to go on for a few more decades over freedom for blacks isn't holding treue with the sense of the value of freedom that this country was founded on.

You are a hatemongering racebaiter, nothing more, and you have repeatedly demonstrated that fact. I had stated I was going to simply ignore you because of that, but have attempted to engage you in discourse again, which was a waste of time. You have proven that you are still nothing but a hatemongering racebaiter. Adieu.

You admitted you prefer a few more decades of slavery rather than the freedom that was given to the slaves. You said it. I haven't mischaracterized you at all.

Here's your original question:
Is a few more decades of slavery acceptable to you with a Southern win?

And here is my exact response:
"If it resulted in better race relations after emancipation than what was created by the Northern carpetbaggers during reconstruction."

That you would prefer what occurred, with it's disaster in race relations and the extreme bitterness that resulted, to a gradual emancipation over a few decades that would have avoided these things and put civil rights many decades ahead in the long run, is just further proof of your irrational thinking. BTW, more black women were raped by Union troops during and after the war than had ever been accosted by Southern whites before it. That is a simple fact of history, just like Lincoln's race prejudice.
