Why do you keep declaring the “end” after making false statements?

I didn’t say anything about WHY the Confederacy seceded. I maintain, as any reasonable thinking person would, that slavery would have ended under its own weight EVENTUALLY...whether the Southern states were part of the union or a confederacy. You have to be a southernphobe to think for a minute that they would continue to exist as the only civilized nation in the western hemisphere to allow slavery. It defies logic. Just as the nation was able to change the Constitution to allow women to vote (just one example), slavery too would have changed, given enough time.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your juvenile and ignorant perspective falls apart when you realize that the Union operated under the belief that there was a “God-given right to enslave human beings for economic advantage” for seven decades before the Confederacy ever existed. And whine all you want, but the truth remains — while you can argue that the war was fought BECAUSE of the slave issue, NO ONE can make the argument that war was declared so as to FREE the slaves. It just did not happen that way.

Get over yourself. Being wrong is one thing, being stupid about it is not a way of life one should choose willingly.

You were the one who posed the question:

Oh, please explain how the “Civil War” was needed.

I answered. Apparently you didn't like the answer, and now you've sunk to calling me stupid.

Awesome.

I'm not one to suffer fools . . . not lightly . . . not at all. Have a good day, sir.
