“So it happens, some people make a lot of money during any wartime. But they are never the reason for war, then or now.”

Your private assurances do not resolve this matter.

I have it on good authority - from, you might say, an unimpeachable source - that the love of money is the root of all evil.

jeffersondem: "I have it on good authority - from, you might say, an unimpeachable source - that the love of money is the root of all evil."

So you freely confess then that Deep South secessionist slave-holders were driven first & foremost by their "love of money" in slaves and commerce?
And you freely confess that Confederates' "love of money" drove them to provoke, start, declare & wage war until final defeat and unconditional surrender?

If so, then sir, you are a much bigger man than I'd ever imagined.

{but somehow I doubt it}
