The Lincoln movie a libertarian review. (government, vote, marriages, status)

[mancat100]

There are statements on record, specifically the South Carolina secession ordinance and also statements by the Vice President of the Confederacy, that issues regarding slavery were the direct cause of their secession. So while its true that Lincoln's cause wasn't ending slavery, it's equally true that the instigators of secession's primary motivation was keeping and extending it. For that putrid cause, they betrayed their country and started a war costing thousands of lives.

That clearly being the case, any defense of these human-traffickers and traitors is just morally offensive. Lincoln went way too easy on them.

Yawn. Refuses to accept the fact the US flag flew over slave ships but blames the CSA for slavery.

A recognized authority in the field with a well established reputation.

In my case, I prefer her take to the "author" in the OP's link, who is still fighting the civil war for the south.

What facts are you referring to?

He offered nothing but stiltted opinion, liberally sprinkled with deliberately inflammatory rhetoric.

I blame the founders of the CSA for being willing to wreck their country in defense of their rights to slavery and its expansion.

If the south`s direct cause was keepin slavery and Lincoln`s cause wasn`t ending slavery then what was all of the fighting about?

Couldn't be more spot on.

I've read, Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream. It has first hand accounts from the time...

Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream: Lerone Bennett Jr.: 9780874850857: Amazon.com: Books

On a side note I haven't watch a moved that wasn't laced with fiction.

The confederacy winning wouldn't have saved slavery.

If the Confederacy had won and maintained slavery one day, one hour, one minute longer than otherwise it would have been one day, one hour, or one minute too long.
