DiogenesLamp quoting PeaRidge: "Isn’t it interesting that lots of folks harp endlessly about slavery but never mention the word Mississippi."

DiogenesLamp responding: "I believe they always start the conversation off with 'slavery' because without it, they realize that it was an immoral invasion."

Total rubbish.
Nobody posting here makes such arguments, all know better.

But yes, most people who discuss this topic go immediately to the "They deserved it because of SLAVERY!" argument.
