Spoken like a true Hitler youth!
Is it normal to ban free speech in Denmark? Was my post just not in line with your beliefs or was the truth just too painful?
Hey Trusty, thanks for closing my thread on the civil war and slavery...
I love paying premium money for a game and then not being able to even speak freely on an off topic message board (hope you...
Looks like I will have to join it. The moderators are banning my free speech and closed my other thread you commented on
George,
I'm still not convinced by your argument that the north was not complicit in slavery. I noticed you did not comment at all on my statement regarding the New England slave trade. It's...
Another question. How do your change your screen name while playing WoR. For example, my game name is my email for some reason (marti237), but I would like to change it to my forum name (Younger...
We have been taught that secession is treasonous, when it was a perfectly ambiguous and reasonable topic in the 1800s. States are talking about it now, and even nullification is going on at various...
Wow, so recognizing fellow Americans' right to self government is "gutless and delusional"...why don't we just go ahead and form Europe into one giant country too. Aren't they all just European after...
Yea it was an "insurrection" of states that decided to legally and peacefully secede. Show me a constitutional provision that shows this was illegal. It really came down to Lincoln's interpretation....
Please explain how calling for 75,000 soldiers to attack another state in your "union" does not qualify as an invasion...multiple southern states only chose secession after Lincoln did this. Please...
Pretty sure that's not what I said...but also not sure why invasion of your own country is justified by a failure to compromise
I see many people became active in my thread on Abraham Lincoln, most people responded by saying the War was some righteous crusade to end slavery. Here's some evidence to the contrary:
The WHOLE...
My problem is that he is consistently listed as a "great president" when in reality he caused the death of hundreds of thousands and spent a fortune on the war. The best presidents should be those...

Hitler on Lincoln's genius in shutting down state sovereignty:

Karl Marx, another Lincoln fan boy,...
ANYWAYS, I'm done arguing. My only point was that Abraham Lincoln was a war criminal, even by today's standards.
Anyone who looks at the war OJBECTIVELY, and not from a NATIONALIST standpoint...
SLAVERY WAS CONSTITUTIONALLY LEGAL. LINCOLN SAID HIMSELF HE WOULD HAVE KEPT SLAVERY OR DONE AWAY WITH IT TO KEEP THE UNION TOGETHER. Many northern states did not even allow free black people. When...
For all the haters asking for sources, eat your heart out:
Alexander de Tocqueville in Democracy in America:
"The Union was formed by the voluntary agreement of the states; and these, in...
Posting a book, a secondary source, is not an accurate source. And yea all 13 states signed, but not at the same time. North Carolina, Rhode Island, etc did not sign until later.
And the articles...
I've read a lot of history books, probably more than you. You're ignoring the language of the constitution itself, the declaration AND constitution both say it was between the states. You're also...
BOTTOM LINE, the war was over tariffs. If the south would have been okay with paying the tariffs, then they would have stayed in the union and slavery would have probably lasted longer.
Slavery...

I'm not understanding why you are so shallow and pedantic on the Ft. Sumter events. Please show your sources on SC firing on ships sent by Buchanan.
The fact is, SC was...
Thomas Aagaard,
You are cherry picking points of mine. I clearly mentioned the articles of confederation. As I said, if you read the text of the Articles, it says they were a "perpetual union."...
Thomas Aagaard
And the last part is more BS.
Please tell me who got the authority to change the makeup of the union?
And then please explain how a US president can allow part of the union to...
Also, to the guy above that pointed out Andrew Jackson and the Nullification Crisis of 1832, you totally prove my point. You even take it a step further by adding Washington and the Whiskey...
I'm not saying I hate him in the sense that I'm going to bed angry. I respect him as a WAR president and as a leader. But I question his tactics and the blind worship of him. I've taught hundreds of...
