I still maintain that slavery was on a death spiral from things like the cotton gin. Economic forces would have ended the the issue with far less bloodshed and loss of Constitutional principles than the war caused.

That isn't racism... That's a boiling down of facts to the hard roots.

Folks shouting "racist" against such things are typically out of other fact based arguments.

Yeah, I detected some emotionalism behind the protest at characterizing 1860 as a “loss”.

should have said to Lincoln here are all the black slaves, you can have them and do what you must up there in DC, Chicago, NY, Boston etc and then we want away from DC.\\\All slavery did was to give Lincoln an excuse to use to keep Britain and France from helping the south and it worked.

Course don;t mention to loud mouth Bill O.R any of this or how Lincoln was thinking of sending them to Liberia, it might damage his brain and over shadow his book
