I'm a Paul supporter, but this is one of those controversial things that makes me iffy about him. I get where he's coming from. He had Southern education about 50 years ago and that was biased, but he opposes wars in general, so he would rather try many solutions then send our young citizens to war. Either way, he has that same thinking that Lincoln had before the war and if Lincoln can be the guy that can think on his feet and is considered one of the best presidents, then Ron Paul can, too.

@n1llionaire I feel that it depends on the way you look at it. I could argue that with the secession of the South, that it was just the gun powder leading to the trigger that Ft. Sumter pulled. If Major Anderson didn't break the Union's agreement with the South, then the South probably wouldn't have felt the need to start firing at Ft. Sumter in retaliation and that what started it officially. I could also say that the South started it, but I'm running out of room.

The South started the war, not the North.

Why doesn't he also suggest we should have just paid off the British & stayed colonists? I'm just not tracking this guy at all.

That makes no sense. We fought the war because the south wanted to establish their own country, slavery was icing on the cake.

ok so he is a crazy ass liberterian but he is honest and ocassionaly pragmatic....
only problem is liberterianism tends to be to much of a dogma...
personaly i which politics was more sciense then religion.
people just think they have a magic formula and want to throw out all other ideas and ignore anything that speaks agains theire hypotasis...
of coarse ron is at leas honest unlike basicaly almost all other poleticians on either side

Lincoln was a longtime supporter of buying the slaves in order to abolish slavery, going all the way back to his time as a Congressman in the late 1840s. However, slaveholders wouldn't sell their slaves. Lincoln even tried to push an emancipation through compensation bill in 1862. It went nowhere. Plus, South Carolina seceded BEFORE Lincoln was even sworn in, and fired first at Ft Sumter. This guy's insane, and shouldn't be president.

@ljietuvis It would certainly cost a lot less than 600,000 American lives.

Not so simple, gentlemen. The slaves weren't for sale and slave owners weren't interested in selling--they were trying to preserve their evil institution, not opt out. Thomas Jefferson suggested the same scheme in his lifetime as a reasonable way out only to be scoffed at by his fellow Southern gentry. We lacked reasonable men in Congress, just as we do today.
