Dude, its all still here, what are you referring to?


You. You haven't the intellectual honesty to admit that the ONLY sources you believe are the ones that support your erroneous position that the entire war was only all about slavery, especially in the face of facts to the contrary.

The hypocrisy of your position that a people ought to be able to break away from a government that no longer represents them and seek independence, whilst simultaneously supporting the unconstitutional actions of Lincoln to subjugate people and states that were seeking that freedom, is staggering.
