You deny southern trampling of civil rights, too. All that paper piled all over the place.

Fallacy of distraction. Changing the subject. Conceding for the sake of argument (for about eight seconds) that your statement is correct, how does that exonerate Abraham Lincoln of the charge of having started the war?

Conceding for the sake of argument (for about eight seconds) that your statement is correct...

...how does that exonerate Abraham Lincoln of the charge of having started the war?

No need to exonerate President Lincoln for something that Jefferson Davis did.
