"And by Franklin Pierce:"(??)

Are you serious quoting Franklin "doughface" Pierce, once again exposing your pro-slavery sentiments?

Pierce's popularity in the North nose dived sharply after he came out in favor of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, repealing the Missouri Compromise and reopening the question of the expansion of slavery in the West. This is a real hero of yours.

Jefferson Davis, the arch sellout, served as President Pierce's Secretary of War. (nuff said)

Pierce was a notorious alcoholic. After losing the Democratic nomination, Pierce reportedly quipped "there's nothing left to do but get drunk" (quoted also as "after the White House what is there to do but drink?")

His hitting the bottle resulted in ruining his marriage to Jane Means Appleton Pierce. He completely destroyed his reputation by declaring support for the 'Confederacy' during the Civil War, dying shortly afterwards of cirrhosis of the liver brought on by years of drinking.

Neo-confederates really know how to pick them....The bar is now open.

"I'll drink to that!"

Wrong. No one here is expressing an PRO-slavery sentiments - Abraham Lincoln was pro-slavery, as he supported a constitutional Amendment making slavery PERMANENT.
