So you say slavery is okay? Are you a Christian?
This talk is pretty sick. I had relatives who fought for the South but the usual South hate on the North is nauseating.
The South was wrong, the war was already going on in Kansas and Missouri over the state lines. Abolitionists were active. Everyone knew before he was elected that Lincoln would seek to end slavery.
Should have left the South to the demographic changes, they’d be majority slave; and Texas is a minority-majority state now, Georgia will be in 2025.
“Everyone knew before he was elected that Lincoln would seek to end slavery.”
Lincoln and the Republicans did not want to “end slavery”.
They wanted to prevent a slave based economic system in the Midwest and the west. Many Midwesterners, including Lincoln’s father, had left the slave based economy of the south because they felt there were no opportunities there for people like them.
They did not propose ending slavery in the south.
Very few northerners wanted an immediate end to slavery.
every other country in the world ended slavery peacefully, even absolutist Russia. Of all world’s leaders, only Lincoln the tyrant found it necessary to wage a most destructive war.
The bad effects of Lincoln’s tyranny resonate today.
