What an idiot! Virginia Governor Notes 'Major Omission' on Slavery in Dixie Month Dec

[OrangeEmpire]

...and its expansion is accurate.
To a degree.
Have you read any of the facts I posted?
LINCOLN HAD NO INTENSION OF FREEING ANY SLAVES!
ONLY STOP THE INSTITUTION FROM EXPANDING INTO THE WEST.

Why can't people understand this?
If Lincoln was not going to actually free any slaves how can the war be said to be "over slavery"?

It is the same tactic used in politics today. When the feds only increase funding to a particular program (medicare) by 3% and the projection was to increase it by 5% to maintain the status quo, the opposing party will scream "the (other party) has cut Medicare!!"

Yes, Lincoln freed the slaves...as a desperation move to cause social upheavel in the South (they were losing the war on the battlefield) and to make the war about a moral issue.

What does Lincoln and freeing the slaves have to do with the start of the war? The war started 60 years before Sumpter.

:crazy:

Freeing the slaves was a political masterstroke by Lincoln to stop foreign intervention. No desperation whatsoever................ it was pure brilliance.

Also, the war was entirely about slavery....... The core issue was the expansion of slave states into the union.

Me thinks I smell of Southern Mystique fan.........
