“And yet the fact remains that you cannot logically support the Confederacy without supporting the basic reason for its existence: to protect & expand the institution of slavery.”
And that is the error to which you cling like Linus to his security blanket. I don’t find it embarrassing though; I find it contemptible, like any other refusal to confront unwelcome facts.
But you have no facts at all, welcome or unwelcome -- zero, zip, nada, no facts -- only your Lost Cause mythology and that was a pack of lies from the beginning.
Which I'm certain you truly know, but for reasons similar to religion, will never admit, right?
