You revile us and tell us how rotten we are, and how incapable we are of reasoned thought and human virtuosity......but you keep us around to be your punching bag. Does anything suggest to you that this relationship might be just the least bit dysfunctional?

I didn't say you were rotten, etc. -- I just stated my contempt for slaveholders and people who enthusiastically supported them (or glorify them now). Fortunately the more reasonable people of the South came to realize that they could survive quite nicely without slavery.

...is maintaining national power with large numbers of Southern military volunteers a little higher on your agenda than how anyone is getting along in our new, improved, post-Constitutional semirepublic?

It would suit me just fine if no Southerners wanted to serve in the military.
