    Yes, this was literally my entire point. Did you miss this?

    His conclusion rests on the assumption that in a war, two sides must be diametrically opposed to one another, so if Lincoln and the north were not fighting against slavery, therefore the south could not be fighting for slavery.

    Edit: if you need it spelled out, I am implying that this is a fallacious assumption

    Edit 2: to spell it out further, I am implying this is a fallacious assumption based in part on the reason you just laid out

      Then you need you access your writing capabilities. Your initial response was he was “technically correct”. He is not technically correct. He’s technically stretching the truth to match click bait on a garbage platform and spew anti racism rhetoric.

      Lincoln was not the only person fighting the Civil War. There were hundreds of thousands. You disrespect every soldier that died and for their causes by reducing it to two people making choices.

      I took History of the United States. As an undergrad. With an emphasis on the time period. Slavery was very much part of the landscape for every single American. It is utterly inept to even try and justify it otherwise.

        Most people who read my original comment seemed to have no issues with it. You however should work on your reading comprehension if you came away from it thinking that it’s justifying slavery.

        Did Lincoln want to outlaw slavery? Maybe we can begin there.

        I straight up don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about in the rest of this comment. Or rather, I don’t know how it’s responding in any way to my original comment.

          Then take a more comprehensive English course and don’t respond until you do.

              Are you asking for advice if you do? We still love you. You be you boo.

                I’m honestly concerned for your health. You seem to lack the ability to comprehend basic written English, and nearly all of your comments are rife with word salad completely unrelated to anything I’ve written. You either have some sort of brain damage, or you’ve really misjudged your own intelligence, reading comprehension, and ability to communicate using the written word

                  I would be concerned with your own. But don’t worry too much about mine. You aren’t smart enough to understand your mistakes or the person you are dealing with. Seriously, look into therapy. Because you cannot see what everyone else does.

                    Hey! Why don’t you go stick your dick in a meat grinder to ensure your genes don’t continue to pollute the human race!

                    The sad thing is you and I agree and have agreed this whole time, but because of your dumbass inability to admit you misunderstood me we’re here now. You’re a waste of space and every resource that has ever gone to sustaining your life, all the food and water and energy, it’s all been wasted. Truly sad to imagine. You are a leech upon this earth.
