Jeff Davis, the fellow who actually started the war, doesn't seem to have gone through the same doubts and torments.

A few short speeches of Lincoln's have more truth and humanity in them than Davis's massive volumes of self-satisfied self-justification.

I have to look at some more speeches then. That war was unjustified, and was only about consolidating power in D.C. They wanted a centrally run government and they got it. The wrong side won in my opinion.

Says you, a ‘non sequitur’ retread. Nothing but a yankee bigot.
