Nope. I am independent, I can go either way. The north was upset that if the South exercised their right to leave, they would be able to expand westward, have control of the Mississippi delta, while the north was contending with frozen ports and the South beating them at their own game. Slavery was still going on up north, in fact Delaware and Kentucky didn't ratify the 13th amendment until 1901 and 1976 respectively although the amendment passed in December of 1865

In 1860, except for two border states, there was a grand total of ZERO SLAVES IN THE NORTH....but there were almost FOUR MILLION SLAVES IN THE SOUTH.

1860 Census Results

The notion that north were the aggressors is nonsense because Lincoln wouldn't have been able to end slavery unless the beligerant states in the south attacked first. Lincoln was just trying to stop a rebellion. Do you guys still call yourselves "rebels?"

Exactly. Only scum attack women and children for no good reason.

There was a good reason: to bring the civil war to its conclusion.

The confederate army had to be defeated in order to end the war, and Sherman believed that the best way to do that was to destroy the souths ability to wage war and supply its troops.

You rebelled to keep slavery. But you probably could've kept slavery...if you hadn't rebelled.

Like I said, piece of scum attacks women and children because it is simply a piece of scum. My ancestors fell victim to this thing and its cohorts. Like I said, if there is any justice in this world, that scum is burning in hell.

Not anymore because I know where that scum is now if there is any justice in this world. It is burning in the innermost circle of hell and will stay there for eternity

If there is any justice, the confederates who fired upon fort Sumter would be down there with him.

What about President Bush's administration lied to our country, and the world, to compel us to war? 4,400 American soldiers died in that war. Care to guess how many women and children ?

Yeah, the north didn't have a good reason like slavery on their side.

Yeah that's what they want you to think. Delaware and Kentucky didn't even ratify the 13th amendment until 1901 and 1976 respectively so you know slavery was legal in those non Southern states until the 13th amendment was passed in December of 1865. Common sense would tell you that.

You're smart, I never questioned that. Although your revisionist history leaves a lot to be desired...but then that's what makes you so fun to banter with.

Saddam had WMD's, we know that. He was slicker than GWB ever knew. Besides when we invaded and took out Saddam, the rest of the world had our backs.
