"once more, i couldn't care LESS what anyone in 1861-65 or NOW thought/thinks, except YOU."
But every single posting has been a complaint by you about revisionism. Now you can't handle the facts?
"i'm at this point simply curious as to whether YOU are a DECENT & HONORABLE person or not."
Of course I am and I am trying to pin down a hypocrite.
"your continued "ducking" of a relatively simple question relative to the commission of massive WAR CRIMES & YOUR beliefs is, i fear, telling."
Your right you are ducking the simple question of: 1.The speeches of the Confederate leaders that stated slavery and its continuation and protection were the cause of secession. 2. You cannot and will not address slavery, the condition of slaves, the treatment of slaves, and the crimes against them. 3. You cannot admit that the ONLY revisionism his on your part. 4. The only recourse that leaves you is the name calling and the immature "When did you stop beating your wife" questions.
So, quit ducking the relatively simple question relative to the commission of massive CRIMES AGAINST SLAVES & YOUR beliefs are, I fear, telling.
There fixed it for you.
Long live the United States!
sadly for YOU, your response is OBVIOUS(to everybody who is reading this thread) is SILLY, ARROGANTLY ignorant & pointLESS.
furthermore, the treatment of the slaves by the aristocrats in BOTH north AND south,is NOT germane to this discussion between the two of us.as i have said repeatedly on these threads, slavery was a HIDDEOUS evil from start to finish. it was UNacceptable & SHOULD have been to any MORAL person, including Jeff Davis, "DIShonest abe lincoln" (who both HATED & FEARED "persons of colour", whether slave or free. fyi, he "spelled out" his HATRED in several letters to friends & compatriots, including to at least one Mass. congress-critter) and/OR anybody else.
the TRUTH is that you are BLINDED by your REVISIONIST, south-HATING, ignorant PREJUDICE & you have been LIED TO & MADE a FOOL OF by the LEFTIST, REVISIONIST, south-HATERS out of northeastern/left coast academia. (frankly, i can NOT think of a single CONSERVATIVE scholar, who would support the REVISIONIST BILGE that you keep harping on.)
you need not respond, as i expect NOTHING of VALUE from you, but rather just more arrogant NONSENSE & off-point bilge.
