Bingo. Notice the concerted efforts by the usual set of suspects, trying change the topic of this thread to one more to their liking? Its a bit like listening to spare change circulate in a clothes dryer (repetitious, annoying, and ultimately not worth very much).

So you're one of those annoying people who yells "Bingo" to hear everyone groan, then follows up with "Just kidding"
I cited the Lincoln as an authority on why the North prosecuted the war. Since he was essentially the one prosecuting the war, I assumed he would know. Since both of you are normally defending him, I thought he might be an authority that you'd accept. Perhaps you fell for Non's diversion, but I didn't.
So here, we will try it again for the third time now:
The unionists who prosecuted the war did not give a fig about ending slavery. With this in mind, attempt to generate a coherent (I know, it will be difficult for you) response outlining why Southern Independence had to be stopped. On your marks, get set, GO (x3 now)!
