Once again, you hold keeping Lincolns reputation in higher regard than human life. That's why I called you a moron, for the very blatant support over the north rather than comment on the needless loss of life.

Of course the southern farmers supported the southern military, the southern military was trying to keep the farmers from being slaughtered by the north. Is this so hard to understand, you support those who support and protect you. As for caring about young men, how many young men died because Lincoln started the war to "wreck the South's economic foundation"? You just validated every comment I have ever made on this stating that the north caused the war by doing everything in its power to limit or outright eliminate the South's ability to become economically self-sufficient and secede from the union. This was a war fought to grab money, not to free the slaves.

No one here as ever tried to make the south look clean or innocent. The only person here that has bent the truth has been you, always trying to keep both Lincoln and the north in general looking like they were the victims. You keep bringing up Ft Sumter and the fact that the first bullet was fired by the south as an excuse for military action against the south when in fact the shot fired can easily be summated as the south having finally been pushed to the point where they felt no option but to shoot. This is what can be expected from any one that has been subject to aggression that can’t be justified.

And please stop bringing slavery into these exchanges, we all know the basis for the war was not to free the slaves.

You keep trying to uphold the north by claiming that less lives were lost at the hands of the northerners. What a stupid statement. Loss of life is loss of life. Don't try to bring a measure of scale into this, the atrocities committed by either side was every bit as grievous as those committed by the other.

Let me try to put this in a context that is more current. The pressure that the US is putting on Iran. When the US has been meddling in Iran's affairs for decades how could anyone be surprised if Iran did strike first. There are several ways to fight a war and certainly the US has been waging a war against Iran for a very long time. Just because a gun hasn’t been fired or drones sent in firing on supposed terrorists doesn't mean they haven't started a war yet. You can take this and apply it directly to what Lincoln did in the civil war. Same aggression just a different idiot president.

Beginning of the headline :~ Railroad Depot Charleston, South Carolina, 1864 ~  THE LETTER from Union Lieutenant Thomas J. Myers: Feb 26, 1865 of the Morrill Tariff "Camp near Camden, S. C. My dear wife--I have no time for particulars. We have had a glorious time in this State.
