You're free to rereread them.
The issue of slavery was central in political conversations of the day
You are claiming otherwise
It's exactly what I'm claiming though.
Why is it that everyday I have to correct another arrogant “hot take” from you
Again, you are free to rereread.
“The Civil War was about slavery to the south but didn't become an issue for the North until 1863.”
Just wrong on so many accounts
Hurr Durr
You literally pulled a date out of your ass to sound more intelligent
Lincoln did not want to risk losing support from vital border states like Maryland which were vital for supplying assaults into the South.
It wasn't until later that it became a moralizing issue.
That’s patently false
And you know it
That’s downright revisionism
1863 was the Emancipation Proclamation, so no. Not pulled out of my ass.
How are you so horribly ignorant?
Stop wasting my time. 🤷
And just please I take issue with nuance doesn’t mean that I am disregarding your words
The discussion on slavery began before that
But you read excerpts from Lincoln’s journals
And came to this absurd conclusion that 1863 is the date that slavery becomes an issue for the north
It’s just wrong on so many levels
I'm talking about the context of war rhetoric.
Lovely backpedaling
The Civil War was about slavery to the south but didn't become an issue for the North until 1863.
It's easy to contrive your own meanings and strawman your way into sophistry and purple prose.
Again, stop wasting my time.
I have never read such a wildly inaccurate statement
Ok.
Is this how you always back out of critiques
I know what I meant and I'm agreeing with pretty much everything you're saying.
It seems that you don't know what I meant.
Perhaps on purpose.
Say someone is wasting your time and slander them as a sophist
I respectfully disengage m'lady.
Really the virtues of a scholar you are exhibiting here
Even your context makes it inaccurate
It is wrong on so many levels
This nightly ritual is getting tedious. Don't you have someone else to talk to?
