BroJoeK post #502: "Therefore, quotes to the contrary by Davis years later are obvious lies, since we know exactly what Davis was up to in December 1860.
Yes, Virginia, that was all about slavery."

DiogenesLamp: "I am *ONLY* interested in discussing the North's reasons for invading and killing them, because it is this vicious aggression that is the real evil of that war."

Riiiiiight, that's the ticket!
When the Lost Cause "truths" are found to be lies, what do they want?
Of course, they want what all Democrats want -- they want somebody to blame -- to blame Republicans, blame Lincoln, blame the United States, blame America & Americans.
Blame anybody, blame everybody but themselves.

That's what being a Democrat is all about.

The *TRUTH* is that independence is a right. It is recognized as a right in our own founding document, the Declaration of Independence, and it was also acknowledged as a right by the failure to object to the ratification statements of New York, Virginia, and Rhode Island.

The lie is that states did not have a right to leave. *THAT* is the primary lie of the war.
