“I can see the Black Racists and Bigots coming out and whining and lying about all Civil War.”
Lying about the Civil War?
Are you saying that South Carolina’s Declaration of Succession did not state that the reason for succession was not slavery?
Are you saying that the Confederates did not attack Fort Sumter?
Are you saying that Alexander Stephens did not say that “”Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical and moral truth.?”
Are you saying that the Confederate Constitution did not guarantee the right to own “negro slaves?”
Funny, The Illinois Butcher™ pretty much held those very same sentiments.
And what exactly IS YOUR point?
Slavery and the right to own slaves was protected by LAW.
A law the North agreed to.
If I owned 50,000 dollars in property, and was threatened with losing it, I would be p*ssed and ready to kick butt!
With that being said, that was not the only reason. The North and South don’t see eye to eye on most issues, even today! It was no better in 1861.
Are you saying that blacks did not own slaves themselves?
Are you saying that Lincoln didn’t say this?
““I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

Lincoln In His Own Words: Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address, Monday, March 4, 1861
Lincoln Acknowledged The Right To Succeed:
“The Chief Magistrate derives all his authority from the people, and they have referred none upon him to fix terms for the separation of the States. The people themselves can do this if also they choose, but the Executive as such has nothing to do with it. His duty is to administer the present Government as it came to his hands and to transmit it unimpaired by him to his successor.” - 30th Paragraph
You’re out of your mind, but I applaud your efforts. Keep the faith and good luck.
