You just proved my point Yamori, yet you don't even see it. THE SOUTH wanted this and the SOUTH wanted that... blah blah blah. The SOUTH was not equal to what the country as a whole wanted. Copout? LOL, no. Your boat just sunk to the bottom of Davy Jones' locker.
I could argue that most people in the north didn't give a shit about what happened to the black man, and that it was a small minority (and a few politicians when new states were created) making an uproar about slavery until the very END of the civil war where they made freeing the slaves an issue to boost morale. But whatever.
Ok, how about this.
During REVOLUTIONARY times, the majority was for slavery and the refusal of political rights to women and blacks.
You , Arlos, Gidan, Rust, and the rest of your ilk all subscribe to the same puerile points of view, thus giving yourselves a strong support network... /snooze So, lauding yourselves as victorious in any thread is completely laughable.
Haha, my "ilk." Good one. I disagree with them on plenty of issues. I'm sure we disagree like hell ass when it comes to economics.
I doubt I'm in any "ilk" on this board.
