Bud, I asked you a simple question that does not require a word salad. I didn’t quote you because I made the post quickly and simply forgot to quote you. I’ve also asked you the same question at least 3 times. It isn’t a difficult question to answer, yet you beat around the bush with long,drawn out aversions.
I understand the history, stop talking down to me like you have some deep insight to it and I’m some dumb redneck. I know evertmything you are saying. You and I can have that conversation, I am hitting on certain points because not many people here have much understanding to any of it and they simply believe it was all about ending slavery.
I’ll ask one more time.
Would there have been a war if there was no economic impact involved? Would Lincoln have waged war, for the sole purpose of ending slavery?
All I need is a yes or no.
