Naw, you're just driving yourself nuts here for no good reason.
The important fact is that you are indeed a big "cut & paste" poster, and that's a term of derision used by wardaddy against opponents of your Lost Cause.
So your name belongs with our other "cut & paste" Lost Causers, notably these days FLT-bird & DiogenesLamp.
Free Republic's traditional posting guidelines say: if I mention you in my post, then I should include your name in my address line.
It's a "rule" that oldtimers like wardaddy well know, but often chose to ignore.
That's why you were addressed.
Feel free to go back and find anywhere in my history I support what you refer to as the lost cause.....i could care less about refighting it
I am against tearing down statues and referring to my ancestry as nazis and yankee bigotry towards my people.
I also grew up surrounded by it ....the remnants ...even where I now type...my own homes foundation and cistern is antebellum and figured tangentially in the Battle of Franklin...1864 ...and I knew relatives who’s parent fought in it or experienced the reconstruction era
I also think it was about slavery ....the expansion of it ....and a lot more. Cultural divides that persist to to this day evident by this very thread and your venom. I’ve lived amongst yankees and had yankee paramours and like many of them same as folks down here....most have zero truck with what you’re obsessed with.
As far as refighting every detail to the lead up and battles I’ll pass. It’s just not my main topic of interest.
Somewhere along the line neocons at national review and elsewhere in an unsettling alliance with race obsessed leftists decides that demonizing the south was good for both. The land of paleos and bigots must be served up on a platter.
Neocons and GOPe do this deflect charges of racism they endure 24/7.....no no no it’s those southerners and their flags
That at this late date...where all of traditional America is under siege ...you still persist in that tack says holy plenty.
As for Lincoln I have always been forthcoming...I’m ambivalent....he certainly offered good terms but he’s also quite flawed and took measures I don’t agree with....not a demigod but considering the circumstances I don’t judge him so harshly. He was no abolitionist I’m surprised you made such a claim.
I’m under no illusion that had the industrial north needed slave labor they would have justified it but with those ports laden with European labor slavery in the north was not growing .
I know having lived or worked or been almost everywhere on this rock that the south is special winner or defeated. No question of that.
No other part of America has this identity or cohesion....but it’s fading because y’all are streaming here in a tidal wave escaping the messes you’ve made.
I’m not sure where this leads but if the past is indicative it’s not good.
It’s ironic now the south who’s history you bemoan with vitriol here day after day is the last redoubt of our American way of life....along with a few parts of the mountain west and rural Midwest.
That fact remains elusive for you to excogitate

Naw, you're just driving yourself nuts here for no good reason.
I was just documenting that you have cognitive issues.
Your quote from my #206 was extremely selective, as is your norm. A more complete quote may counteract your cognitive issues enough for you to see that you falsely attributed a quote to me.
[DiogenesLamp #208 to FLT-bird #205] begins,To: FLT-birdThey were against the spread of slavery to the western territories.
DiogenesLamp was quoting FLT-bird #205.

DL quoting woodpusher: "They were against the spread of slavery to the western territories."At this point, I was not even aware of the existence of this thread. I had stated nothing on the thread, nor does it appear anybody quoted me saying anything. BroJoeBidenK merely has cognitive issues. Only in BroJoeBidenK's head, was I here among his imaginary friends and adverseries, being "quoted."
Due to your Biden syndrome, in your confusion you imagined that DiogenesLamp had "quoted" woodpusher. As I had not participated on the thread in any way, nor had I even been cited or referenced by anyone, there is no good reason why anything on the thread was attributed to me as a "quote." There was nothing of mine on the thread to confuse with someone else.

Do try to not make believe that you were doing me a courtesy, pinging me to your misbegotten wrongly attributed "quote." BroJoeBidenK, your excuse making is on a par with Jen Psaki. Come to think of it, are you two related?
Another old tradition is due diligence before posting. Our conversation is on another thread where you established that Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Roy P. Basler were all Lost Causers. For some reason, you left that conversation abruptly after I was called a Lost Causer for a post I made, and I documented I had used the words of Ulysses S. Grant from a report to President Andrew Johnson, December 18, 1865. Ulysses S. Grant, a Lost Causer. Who knew?
