I understand that you actually believe you are making a logical and intelligent argument. But this is a joke,
First off the fact that only white men could vote shows that the constitutional rights of all who were not white men had been violated. Number 2, had blacks been voting its highly doubtful that slavery would have been an issue.
I agreed with the fact that the constitutional rights of blacks were violated.
I agreed that if blacks had the vote, that slavery would not have been as issue.
But, that does not change nor challenge the fact that the actual all white male electorate voted for the anti-slavery Lincoln.
THis nation had a moral issue with slavery to the point that men were willing to die by the hundreds of thousands to end it.
I know you like repeating this argument about how morally torn this nation was bout slavery and how Lincoln was anti slavery and how all those whites went to war and died to end slavery, but that's simply not so.
YOu expressed your disagreement, but you did NOTHING to support it.
I'm citing the election of a man morally opposed to slavery, documented history and you are just airily dismissing it, as your argument.
You fail.
I am dismissing your crap based upon correct documented historical fact. I don't fail in his regard. But you do so miserably.
