The fact that you take the position you do on the Civil War and then make that statement without a hint of irony, is quite telling.


Um, since we're playing word games, when exactly was India or Kenya considered part of the UK such that they needed to secede???

Nowhere here have I said the North was "right" and the South was "wrong", I have merely been attempting to cut through the usual hogwash here and merely cite the causes for which they fought as elucidated in the words of the actual participants themselves.

But of course they were all deceived by that diabolical Lincoln... crazy

Lincoln was a great man.
