But it is no less fictional than other "explanations" of a historical event. As Churchill I almost smell his cigar) said, "History is written by the victors." No war ever achieves a good. Even the end of slavery has to be deviously defined as a good. Even then, it is arguable that it was not the the goal of the North, nor was its preservation the goal of the South.<br /><br />No good can arise from evil. To stop an evil action is not to magically accomplish a good. For the results of evil long outlive its lifetime. Slavery has not ceased to exist. Just its legal status in the United States. But we continue to suffer from its consequences, as do all other nations whose citizens have practiced and condoned its practice.<br /><br />We have, indeed become slaves to our government, I believe as a consequence of the actions of our forefathers. Unless we repent and turn to God, we will continue our present status and worse to come.

What the Southern states did was say "We're seceding." What they SHOULD have done is said "We're not seceding from the Union. New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois... you guys are seceding from the Union." And then kicked out the Yankee states. The border states would have immediately sided with the south, and the game would have been over before Lincoln ever started to provoke South Carolina.PaulTheCabDriverhttp://www.paulstaxi.comnoreply@blogger.com
