PeaRidge: "I hate to use the term lying, so I won't, but you continually make things up."

FRiend, you've posted quotes from at least half a dozen different alleged newspapers.
Of all those, I can fully verify only one-third of one quote -- from the New Orleans Daily Crescent.
Two thirds of that quote are not to be found in the paper you claim it came from.

In two other quotes I can verify the paper itself existed -- the Philadelphia Press and the Boston Evening Transcript.
However, in neither case can I confirm the quotes themselves.

Other papers, including the Chicago Daily Times and Manchester Union Democrat, I can find no record of.

So I give you full credit for one-third of one quote.
All the others are dubious at best.

PeaRidge: "Manchester Union Democrat"

Noted, but I still can find no record of a Manchester Union Democrat listed anywhere in 1861.

And even if we assume it's legit, look how the article starts:

Notice it's Republicans who say "let them go" and here Democrats who say, "No you can't".
Also, notice there is no hint in this article about using force to keep the South submissive -- just the opposite.

How does this piece say to "keep the South"?

In short, PeaRidge & DiogenesLamp, your argument here was always a very leaky boat, but it is now completely blown to smithereens and out of the water by your own quote!

So go back to real school guys and learn some actual history.
Put away your childish pro-Confederate propaganda.
It's worthless.

Too bad you are having trouble locating newspapers.

You said you could not find two...here they are:

Chicago Daily Times (Chicago, Illinois) Newspaper Archives(1855 - 1856).

Research here

Research the Manchester Union Democrat here

But don't exhaust yourself. Your inability to find anything does not prove it does not exist....Not to worry there.
