>Words That Got a Congressman Deported  - Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell
The only one doing any spinning here is you Jim. The leaders from the south never said they wanted to end slavery, in fact there is nothing hidden about the fact that they would have carried on with the status quo as long as they would have been able to. If you want to criticize them find another horse to flog. Lincoln made all the noise about freeing the slaves yet ignored the slaves in the north where he could have easily with the stroke of a pen had them set free long before the war was fought never mind that it took him the better part of a year to end slavery AFTER the war was over. He married into a family that had slaves, he benefited from these slaves in the life style he enjoyed at their expense. Where was his compassion then? Where is the history books does it tell us about him admonishing his in laws for keeping slaves? Lincoln was a typical politician, talking out of both sides of his mouth. You simply can't ignore this fact Jim C, Lincoln enjoyed a lifestyle that was based on the oppression of black people, his in-laws slaves. He is as guilty as any southern general or leader in that regard, benefiting from slavery.

Why is it that you never address this fact, that Lincoln could have ended slavery in the north but didn't till after the war? How can you keep ignoring this documented fact and still lambaste anyone that tells the truth about Lincolns true motives for going to war? Yes yes, I know you'll bring up the same BS as always, the south fired the first shot. Well open your blind eyes and you'll be staring at the fact that Lincoln in fact fired the first shot with the taxes he levied on the south, taxes that finally pushed the south to retaliate. You ignore all of the civil war history that doesn't fit your view, the view that Lincoln was a hero, well he wasn't and many consider him a war criminal. He most certainly does not deserve to be glorified as a freer of slaves.

Beginning of the headline :Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham (D-Ohio) was the original American "whistleblower." Serving as a member of Congress from Dayton, Ohio during the War to Prevent Southern Independence, his criticisms of the Lincoln regime earned him the reputation as the leader of the Democratic opposition. The Republican Party smeared him (and all other opponents as a "copperhead" (a.k.a. snake in the grass). On May ... Read More
