Jefferson and Adams, for all their differences, were solidly in agreement on the importance of the Union.

ROTFL!

Of course he didn't, he is a home schooler ideologue. They like the D.S.s cherry pick their quotations and often use those in direct contradiction of what was maintained by the authors.

"Fair and Balanced" is an unacceptable concept for the ideologues.

OK, maybe he's clicking on the "Post" button both for the first reply and the carbon copies :o)

If I'm not mistaken,,Congress did not declare war until 3 months after Lincoln had ordered the invasion of the South.

You're mistaken. The confederate congress passed a resolution declaring a state of war existed on May 6, 1861. Neither President Lincoln or the U.S. Congress ever issued a declaration of war. Such a declaration would be inappropriate. You declare war on other sovereign nations, not on rebellious sections of your own.

[Grand Old Partisan]

Neo-Confederates who complain about President lincoln ignore the fact that President Jackson, himself a southerner, threatened to hang anyone who tried to block the exercise of federal law in the South.

And he would have too!

Is there anything in that article which does not fit the catagory of BS?

Not that I've been able to find.

Very amusing and it might even be swallowed by those with no knowledge of American history. Certainly Hitler would have fought on the side of the Slavers to maintain their right to enslave those unable to qualify for the Master Race. Hitler's racial views were totally consistent with the Slaverocracy and totally opposed to Lincoln's.

Silly sophistries don't work at FR.

Besides that "quote" is more than likely a total fabrication or a misquote. I have caught the D.S.s trying that method far too many times.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I'll bet every word of that "story" is a lie.

[justshutupandtakeit]

That is false. There was no secession from the Union when the government was changed. The Articles stated in many places that the Union was PERPETUAL. It never claimed the government was perpetual.

Those attempting to deceive the unaware conveniently forget there is a difference between a nation and a government. Wonder why?

Cute. Stupid and beside the point but cute.

I've considered the War in this way. An abused wife, who is no angel herself, chooses to leave her abusive husband. The abusive husband, being stronger than the wife, and after inflicting grievious injury, forces her to return home to continued abuse.

The source of the abuse being, of course, that the wife differed with her husband about whether she could sell her children.

Why ask me? Get someone to read it to you and find out for yourself.

And, the motto "E Pluribus Unum" -- Out of Many, One -- was adopted by the United States Government several years PRIOR to the Constitution.
