Lincoln started the war and is responceble for the death of over 600,000 Americans . That is why he is so hated , if he would have just let the first 7 states go in the begining none of that carnage would have happended and they might have come back into the union at a later date ,and we might not have the racial problems that we have now .

The problem with counter-factual history is that we just do not know. I think the slavery issue could have been solved, following the British example. But it was not. I think a few Southern Baptists could have read Paul's letter to Philemon a little more carefully.

That is nonsense. If the 7 states had not initiated their rebellion int he first place then none of the lives would have been lost.
