You continue to make simple errors of fact.

You repeat that often of others yet never do you explain what facts are supposedly in error. Similarly, you take an entirely different approach to your own factual errors.

In this particular case, I noted that historically, various southern offers were made to compensate the north in exchange for taking possessions of certain federal lands located in their borders. Lincoln's position in response was the uncompromisable stance of demanding to retain them all.

I suppose this is due to the fact that you simply are not that familiar with the record.

In light of your unwillingness to even consider items of record that do not coincide with your historically inaccurate worldview surrounding Lincoln, for you of all people to question the familiarity of others with the historical record reeks of hypocrisy.

Show that I have considered these items and then discarded them.

In point of fact, your use of phrases like "tug boat" and "warship" show that you are guilty of some pretty mighty hyperbole. But then you pretty much have to, as your position won't stand being compared to the clear historical record.

Well,l just as a for instance, you said the "Star of the West" was a tug boat. That is a misstatement of fact, and one, I will bet, you were well aware of
