To: Bubba Ho-Tep; Hot Tabasco
Tabasco, meet Bubba.
Bubba thinks the "Lost Cause" Southerners fought for was slavery.
Bubba thinks Lincoln's desire to ban slavery in the territories was something other than Lincoln's own words (preserving the land for the white man).
Bubba thinks Lincoln's numerous public statements before and during the war to preserve slavery in the states so long as they remained in the union (so he could keep milking the cash cow) can be summarily dismissed.
Bubba thinks Lincoln's ideas on colonization, deportation, white supremacy are an exaggeration despite his sticking them to them until his death.
Bubba (et al here) think Lincoln's instigations, provocations, usurpations and effective destruction of the principles of the law of the land were justified...not because of some moral or legal high ground, but because THEY WON.
Now fall in line, comrade!

Pleased to meet you, Tabasco. I see you’ve already met Phi1. He thinks that slaves can’t reproduce on their own, that the members of the Hartford Convention should have been psychic, that Lincoln called for troops before Sumter was shelled, and that the US attacked a fort that was already in its possession. What else he believes we’ll find out soon.
