You don't want to talk about the five Union slave states that did not have the Union Army invade them to abolish slavery?

As I've said over and over, the United States fought to end a rebellion. The rebellion was over slavery, as the rebels made very clear in their public statements. Some slave states did not rebel, therefore, no action was taken against them. You seem to have a great deal of difficulty with this concept, despite having it explained to you over and over.

Which "four score and seven years ago" was regarded as a just cause, and referred to as "Independence". They even wrote about it.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The rebellion was over slavery,

Not on the Union side it wasn't. As I have mentioned to you before, A D@mn I do not give about WHY one people wish to disassociate themselves from another, I simply believe that forced association is wrong.

That the Croats and Serbs do not wish to associate is all I need to know. I do not care to wade into their specific reasons for wishing to be separate, I only recognize that people have, and ought to have a right to associate with whom they please, and likewise to disassociate from whom they please.

You mean, they continued to do what Washington D.C. told them to do. Exactly! It wasn't the SLAVERY that Washington D.C. found unacceptable, it was the DEFIANCE that Washington D.C. could not tolerate. (same as now.)

So why the F**k do you keep going on and on and on about slavery, when you keep inadvertently admitting that Slavery wasn't the reason Washington D.C. ordered armies into those states?

Because I do not accept the idea of placing a LESSER PRINCIPLE above that of a SUPERIOR PRINCIPLE. It is the bone of contention between us that you do.
