If we are talking about the causes of the war that’s political

Don’t shift the frame

You will do anything to weasel out of admitting you are wrong

Regular citizens in the south just saw slavery as the natural order of things

I have repeatedly clarified this specific point. I don't know why you're so attached to misrepresenting me.

You clarified it 3 different ways now

Slavery was the issue of the political class, the regular solider didn’t care that much

Seems more like you prefer to make vague statements and bend the context later

Seems we're at an impasse if you refuse to engage in polite discourse. 🤠

Guess all we can do now is get our flintlocks and have a duel

I cannot allow you the liberty to shift your context three different times every time I offer a new criticism

Lincoln wouldn’t have been elected if he was an abolitionist

That’s bad form on your part not mine

Europeans preferred to duel with swords.

It would be president Stephen Douglas or John Bell

I vaguely remember that Lincoln lost the popular vote but I may be wrong.

He won a plurality

Yeah that's right.

Followed by Douglas, Breckinridge and Bell

I don’t understand how anyone can engage civilly with this utter mediocrity @εïз irma εïз

Electorally it was Lincoln, Breckinridge, Bell, Douglas

That seems to be a problem unique to you, Otter.

Seems like more people than just me want you to stay in your lane

In all reality civil war would’ve happened no matter who the president was

Maybe you can start a club.

It would be a healthy outlet.

@Deleted User you haven’t uttered one argument so far

I only hear insults

I made several arguments

You just cannot read can you?

*another insult*

@εïз irma εïз you can’t make this shit up

I repeated one of my arguments twice

He's just a troll.

Don't assume rationality.

Because idiots like you scroll too fast and don’t read my arguments

And fixate on me calling out an ignoramus like irma

Give me an argument on the importance of slavery to the average Union or Confederate citizen

I never made that argument

That’s what you’re arguing
