a neutral examination of the FACTS of the period shows up the DY government & "the lincoln misadministration" to be the cheap scheming politicians/nitwits/crooks/bigots/antisemites/south-HATERS that they actually were.
face it, you've been LIED TO & MADE A FOOL OF your whole life. further, "your betters" in the hate-FILLED bastions of DAMNyankeedom "laugh up their sleeves" at anyone who believes their SELF-serving, intentional lies.
nearly a MILLION people died NEEDLESSLY for a pack of DAMNyankee LIES. it's really no more complicated than that.

I have always come to my own conclusions. Slavery and the process to eliminate it and how to do it is an interesting debate. I obviously think Brown was pushing the issue and the reality of what people were indifferent to for so long and making this country deal with it. And the fact is this country was wrong and unjust in itself to legalize the injustices done to so many unfortunate to be born black and ‘property’ for so long.
