Just like anyone else that wants to cover up rape, murder, looting, and other bad things you preach the high minded thing when you know in your heart of heart that as racist as the country was that there were few whites really wanting to die for a Afro-American. Lincoln said he believed that the white man should rule, I have a yankee quotes that goes along the lines of, "now that I find we are fighting for the black man I will come home as soon as my enlistlment is up." And then Grant not freeing his slaves until the passing of the 13th in Dec. of 1865. And just because you can link "States Rights" to slavery doesn't mean that the non slave owner ever thought about the Black man. You give them a heck of a lot more importance in the mind of people who were mainly just trying to stay alive.
Clinton running for president had a sign that said it is the "econemy stupid" and most of the time it is. Oh, and since the North was up to its ear in the slave trade it would be wise not to push it to hard. The one newspaper that I looked at from Washington D.C. was the Republican Party mouthpiece in Washington DC, and they reported that the ship, fitted out in New York had been captured and the slaves returned to and dropped off in Africia (without any idea were the people came from) and the ship reached Charleston the day after the state left the Union. It was going to be put up for sale. That the last slave ship left New York Harbor in 1880 to get slaves for Brazil. Not to mention that between Jan. 1, 1860 to Aug. 31, 1861, a twenty month period of time, 1000 ships were counted leaving New York to get slaves. Farmers sold them food, sail makers, rope makers, ship wrights, ships crew, and Bankers all involved in it as well. So do act so above it all.
You Northern people were just as bad as the rest of the country. Plus this one fact. I believe that a person elected in El Paso, Texas to set in Government in Austin, knows more what a man in Houston or Lubbock needs then someone elected in L.A. or Boston to set in Washington, D.C. Go to the map and see what I am refering to. That is states rights to us. If you lived down here you would know that.
And one last thing, We know that if the South wins, freeing the slave is mute. So the number one war aim was and has always been to take a gun and force the South back into the Union. Which brings up this question, "Where is the land of the free and home of the brave, if it takes a gun to keep the country together?"
Which brings up the big lie of Lincoln. Where, if the South wins, is the Union going to go. That union between Maine, Mich, Mass. Minn. and Maryland, where is it going to go? Lincoln going to lock up the White House and go home? And it is almost a joke, is Congress going to stop taking it's check, lock up the Capital Building and go home? No, the US would have been just fine. And would have been just as strong. The South winning would have been bad because cotton would be grown in Turkey, Egypt, and India and the market would fall, leaving the CSA as a second rate nation. So it is good the South lost. Problem is my gg grandfather who grew corn, as did my Uncle and my cousin, who was murdered by the military governor of Western Tenn., all wore gray and had nothing to do with slavery. So don't try to shove it down my throat because I will not swallow it. Understand...back off or don't write me again. You have no idea and it always amazes me how you people think you can read our minds. I bet you liked the movie "Deliverance."
