Oh, but my goodness must nip this in the bud, nip this in the bud, - blacks who fought for the South - Oh say it isn't so? If there were - they were slaves that were chained to the wagon wheels, doncha know? Also, there were no free blacks in the South. There were no black slave owners. Every and I mean every barefooted ridgerunner owned slaves. No one in the North every owned slaves. Only angels lived north of the Mason-Dixon and only cruel, rich, lazy, slaveowners lived south of it - slaves excepted. No Republican ever owned slaves - read that little jewel of wisdom right here in FR. Lincoln was the greatest man that ever lived. He had absolutely no reason to pursue the war other than his love for the black man and his desire to see them free. Have I left anything out?
I don't know the name of the poster - but we will in all probability be 'enlightened' with reams and reams of articles about Lincoln's wonderfulness.
You know. If the Southerners were such heinous people and such a blight on the union - and since at the time, slavery was legal, and so was succession. The wonderful Lincoln said so - just didn't think 'this' was a good enough reason, why didn't they just let them go from the union and consider it good riddance to bad trash? I have always wondered that. If I had relatives that were doing legal things but totally heinous (slavery was), I would want to distance myself from them. I wouldn't want them around me.
I feel that way about politically correct relatives right now.
lol, and it never matters what the real topic is...As I posted once before, I truly believe that when Walt enters Heaven (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt), the first thing he'll do is demand to know why the Almighty is sitting on old Abe's throne.
