    Yes slavery was certainly part of it and if you can point to where I said it’s not about slavery I’d love to see it.

    It seems to me you and a few others here have seen what you wanted in my comments rather than what was actually said.

        Ok, point to where I said it was not about slavery I will wait sir.

        That is the norths perspective as written by contemporaries like uhh Lincoln who I quoted. Cool, it doesn’t make sense.

          Idiot on Facebook: “The sun goes around the Earth!”

          You: “Well he’s not entirely wrong, because bodies orbit the centroid between blah blah blah–”

          One hundred people of varying politeness: “That’s not what he meant and you fucking know it.”

          You: “Well here’s a really smart guy talking about centroids–”

          Ten exasperated follow-ons: “That’s not what he meant, and you fucking know it.”

          You: “Point to where I agreed with anything he said.”

          A few diehard troll-hunters: “Where you said ‘he’s not entirely wrong.’”

          You: “… yeah but what do words really mean, anyway?”

          Stop talking.
