You're kind of all over the map spewing half-truths and full-hate there... but I have to point out the worst of your arguments.

You mentioned the thousands of Rebel soldiers who died fighting for slavery. Really, most were just fighting against being told what to do by the central government and didn't even own slaves. You conveniently didn't mention the thousands of WHITE Northern soldiers who died to end slavery and whose side prevailed, thus showing the core character of the nation. Why is it that folks like yourself generalize the American battle over slavery by mentioning only the losers rather than the winners who sacrificed so much for another race? It's kind of hard to have a meaningful discussion on interesting topics when your post is so intellectually dishonest.

Yes. Slavery had little to do with the civil war. You've totally rebutted the parent post. We're not heading straight into crazytown on this thread at all.
