“Other than you and your fellow Lost Causers I don’t know anyone who is claiming that.”
You have. And within the last 12 hours.
Start with that.
Or have you started to walk it back already?
Misstatement on my part due to my not reading your statement carefully enough. For the record I do not believe that Lincoln and the Union pursued the war that was forced upon them for the purpose of ending slavery. Nor does anyone who has studied the rebellion in any depth. Except, perhaps, you but then I have no idea how much time you have spent looking into the history of the rebellion. Since you insist on referring to it as Lincoln's war then I'm thinking not much.
