And no matter what evidence I show him against it, he won't accept it as proof because it's either "on the internet, so someone made it up" or if it's in print, then "it's just revisionist propaganda"
Have you shown him the original documents detailing the reasons for secession?
I've tried to
But the only way I can show them to him is by finding it online, and my dad is one of those proto-boomer types that thinks anything found on the internet is a work of fabrication when it doesn't confirm what he thinks @εïз irma εïз
You have to kill him.
find the original documents in a museum
20 min until livestream debate
Some old encyclopedias may have the information or college libary
@εïз irma εïз that’s patently incorrect revisionism
The issue of slavery was the root cause of the confederacy seceding from the union
Lincoln’s personal feelings dug up from his journals on the matter aside
Literally what I said.
You're losing your touch. You did the same thing yesterday.
👎
That’s not what you said at all
I’m re-reading your comments
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.
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
One would argue it was an issue for the north years before the civil war
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.
