Wlat non-response. The fact remains that, by his own definition, Lincoln invaded the south and coerced its obedience.
In the speech in Indianapolis that you excerpted, President elect Lincoln made clear that if the government retained or recaptured federal properties in rebel areas, that could not be considered invasion or coercion.
You tried to make the speech say something it doesn't say. You got caught in a lie.
And amazingly, you posted this same thing some weeks ago, and were exposed as a liar then too.
But don't worry, the other neo-rebs won't call you on it.
Walt
But invading the southern territories and coercing their obediance would be. He said so himself. And that is exactly what he did.
You tried to make the speech say something it doesn't say.
What did I allege it to say that it did not say, Walt? That Lincoln, by his own definition, invaded the south? Sorry, Walt, but it di say that and he did do that. That Lincoln, by his own definition, coerced the south? He said that and did that too. So if you can dispute either of those things, do so. Otherwise, quit making baseless accusations against others who best you in debate.
