“You appear to have a problem with linear thought. I did not say it would be alright. I said that it would show the lost causers to be purveying horse hockey.”
The eventual conduct of the Davis government in a war that started as soon as the governmnet was founded isn’t necessarily related to all the reasons it was fought in the first place.
The conduct of the Continental Congress wasn’t perfect either.
You are having trouble with linear thought again. Where did I say that the Davis government micromanaged because of the reasons they seceded? Show me the post.
I think the Confederate government embodied its founding principles quite well.
In my study of local history I've become familiar with Confederate Congressman Tibbs of the southeastern corner of East Tennessee. He was a true triple threat embodying three fundamentals of the Confederacy. He was a typical legislator, making laws for the benefit of the great Southern nation. Secondly he was a slave trader, using his legislative travels to Richmond to help introduce the glorious benefits of slavery to a region that was largely unfamiliar with the cornerstone of the Confederacy. Thirdly, he was an abuser of the local Unionist population, always willing to lend a needed hand to the imprisonment and extortion of "Lincolnites".
With such liberty loving statesmen as Confederate Congressman Tibbs, was the final fate of the Confederacy ever in doubt?
