Check the date on that speech again, Walt. January 1860. It wasn't even in the secession era.

Check the date on that speech again, Walt. January 1860. It wasn't even in the secession era.

"[The chief obstacle to reconciliation] is the absoulute impossibility of revolutionizing Northern opinion in relation to slavery. Without a change of heart, radical and thorough, all guarantees which might be offered are not worth the paper on which they are inscribed. As long as slavery is looked upon by the North with abhorrance; as long as the south is regarded as a mere slave-breding and slave-driving community; as long as false and pernicious theories are cherish respecting the inherant equality and rights of every human being, ther can be no satisfactory political union between the two sections."

--New Orleans Bee, December 14, 1860 Quoted in "The Causes of the Civil War" Keneth M. Stampp, ed.

Looks like December, 1860 to me.

All of your rant on every subject is based on your saying that -you- know better than the people of the day. They spoke more truthfully than you do.

Walt
