Name ONE property that the South claimed ownership of after they seceded that was in the north. They paid the majority of the taxes which had gone to building the railroad system of the north yet left that behind when they seceded. The north had NO claim to anything in the South after the secession except the claim that you and your modern-day friends insist is northern ownership of the entire South and it’s people as well as THEIR chosen future. What arrogance. Killing all those young men in the prime of their lives wasn’t good enough. You have to live with the guilt of massaging the truth to justify what was done even to this day. What Lincoln and the north did to the South was pure evil driven by greed. That you continue the farce of arguing it’s merits says a lot about who you are and it isn’t pretty.

You really don't know much about the history of the period, do you?

I know facts rather than your revisionist history. I know the South had no plans to attack or invade the north. I know that the north claiming ownership of part of the harbor of a Southern state that had left the union was a direct provocation to force a war. South Carolina had every right to defend itself after it was no longer part of the United States. I know that slavery was NOT the determining factor for the secession because slavery in the South was legal and in no danger, in fact the north had offered an amendment to the Constitution enshrining it forever as legal. I know that the north invaded and laid waste to the South resulting in the deaths of 750,000 young men from both sides for financial reasons rather than moral, high-ground reasons, and then since that time has tried to continue the lie about wanting to free the slaves, etc. I know that the north spent another 12 years rubbing the South through the dirt in the name of “reconstruction”. Yea, those pure as snow northerners. I know all about them. Must be some of your ancestors for you to lie so much about them and what they really did. I know that.
