That you support a war that consumed an entire generation and achieved nothing but the destruction of half the country says a lot about you.

That war did put an end to slavery. But your premise is mistaken. Most people didn't intend war. It was an unintended result of other actions.

Then again, a lot of secessionists were willing to risk a massively destructive war in order to get their own way. They got their war, but just didn't like the result.

Bite me.

That also says a lot about you.

No they didn’t. They seceeded from the union. They did not invade the union, that was Lincoln who could not own up to his own failure.

You remind me of the pro-affirmative action types who claim they are ending discrimination by discriminating. Shoosh.
