We'll have to listen to you complaining about how unfair it was for another hundred and fifty years.

No you won't. You don't have to read my posts, or reply to them. Those decisions are yours to make, not mine. You're free to do as you please, and I'll defend your right to do it, as long as you aren't causing harm or breaking the law.

Which is a far cry from the behavior of Lincoln and his cronies and accomplices.

And if I've misstated anything, so be it. I'll stand corrected on sourced links or anything other than my defense of the sovereignty of the individual states. Secession was their right, and they exercised it lawfully. Lincoln and his cabal could have cared less, and proved it.

The Union was the instigator and aggressive party from the beginning.

Perhaps H.L. Menchen said it best...

The War of 1861 settled the issue of secession through brute force that cost 600,000 American lives. Americans celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, but H.L. Mencken correctly evaluated the speech: “It is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense.” Lincoln said that the soldiers sacrificed their lives “to the cause of self-determination – that government of the people, by the people, for the people should not perish from the earth.” Mencken says: “It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of people to govern themselves.” Source

Some, perhaps most of the northern soldiers, believed in the cause they fought for and I don't fault them for it. I see the southern boys the same way. It's always the soldier who pays the highest price, and we should honor his sacrifice.

Your insults are meaningless to me, and only reflect poorly on you.

That's it, we're done.

It’s truly unfortunate how dense some people can be.

And quite sad how the people who attempt to impersonate low-rent bottom-feeders can become so successful at it.

Apparently it’s all in what they’re used to.
