No comparison. The dossier was fake, and everyone knows it.
On the other hand, 4 million escaped slaves is solid evidence.
The Civil war was about Rich, Powerful, corrupt men who controlled Washington DC and calling anyone who threatened their power an "Insurrectionist".
4 million slaves who escaped to the North say you're wrong.
And how do we know that the claims of widespread beatings and whippings are not fake?

I agree. 4 million slaves "escaped" slavery, and you have only 1 picture of a whipped slave's back?
That's pretty good evidence the claims that have been made are bullsh*t, and that the vast majority of slaves were never treated as the abolitionist kooks would have had us believe.

Those 4 million slaves wouldn't know anything about the corrupt money from government system that was in place in 1860. All they would know is that they don't have to be slaves anymore.
As Charles Dickens said:
"For the rest, there's not a pins difference between the two parties. They will both rant and lie and fight until they come to a compromise; and the slave may be thrown into that compromise or thrown out, just as it happens.""
And he was a staunch abolitionist.
