@RevBillyRayCollins If Jefferson Davis was so sure about the Constitutionality of secession, why didn't the south go to court before the war started? Are you saying that they PREFERRED going to war to settle the issue?
@RevBillyRayCollins Prove that Lincoln said that. Show me another Lincoln quote in which he refers to the "Confederacy".
The North and South both needed the tariff. Without it, the South would buy everything from Britain, and the North's economy would collapse. The North comprised half of the South's customer base, so if the North's economy died, the South's economy would also die.
@KayBeeEee1983 I dont know if its a fake or not. Just because you havent found Abe to say anything like that doesnt mean he didnt say it. And do you really think its possible he never mentioned the Confederacy by name, ever?
"I've never denied that the North" Im surprised, I really am. That takes a lot, more so than me saying it was States rights in the defense of slavery. And obviously the economy of the south was based on slavery and life was defined by slavery.
@RevBillyRayCollins You need to learn the difference between fact and opinion.
I've never denied that the North fought the war to preserve the tariffs. The tariffs wouldn't have been there if they weren't necessary. Without the tariffs, northern industry would die. I've also never said the war was fought to destroy slavery.
And that's not a real Lincoln quote. He would never have admitted to destroying the Republic and I can't think of another quote in which he acknowledged the Confederacy. fake
@KayBeeEee1983 "Why are you giving me these quotes?" Because you are uneducated and ignorant on the topic. Open your mind to the facts.
"That Lincoln one is a fake" No its not, look it up. Its obvious he destroyed the republic in the same way Julius Caesar destroyed the Roman Republic. Bruce Catton even admits to this in his book "Reflections on the Civil War."
@RevBillyRayCollins Why are you giving me these quotes? That Lincoln one is a fake, you know...why would Lincoln ever admit to destroying the Republic?
@KayBeeEee1983 Lincoln said: " ... in saving the union, I have destroyed the Republic. Before me I have the Confederacy, which I loath. But behind me I have the bankers, which I fear."
@KayBeeEee1983 "[T]he contest is really for empire on the side of the North, and for independence on that of the South, and in this respect we recognize an exact analogy between the North and the Government of George III, and the South and the Thirteen Revolted Provinces. These opinions...are the general opinions of the English nation." -London Times, November 7, 1861
@KayBeeEee1983 "The real issue involved in the relations between the North and the South of the American States, is the great principle of self-government. Shall a dominant party of the North rule the South, or shall the people of the South rule themselves. This is the great matter in controversy." -Robert Barnwell Rhett (Montgomery, Alabama, 1860)
