[DiogenesLamp]

Right. Right. Right. Nothing to do with perpetuating the right to enslave another human being.

You can't get on your moral high horse when the Union had every intention of letting this continue. You can't give them credit for starting a war to "abolish slavery" when they had no intention of doing so until two years after the war had started.

[Texas Eagle]

You can't get on your moral high horse when the Union had every intention of letting this continue.Now you're getting into the whole Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Missouri Compromise and all that stuff. The North was clearly on the path of abolishing slavery. It was just a matter of time. The South did not want to see that time come.
