But you see Sir, I see that slavery was an issue of the War, but it wasn't the Primary issue of the War, it wasn't "The Primary issue" until the Republican Caucus of 1864, (Shelby Foote's Last book of his Trilogy) can't recall the name off hand and I have it loaned out.

Now as far as Bloody Bill, yes I did, he went crazy because Union Soldiers caused the building to colapse on his sisters in the Grand Hotel at Kansas City. I do not go with the thought that Quantrill and Anderson were completely in their rights as Soldiers, in fact some of their actions were caused by the Union refusing to treat them as soldiers, and some of it was because they were just killers. But if you read both sides of history you just might learn that the South had every right to secede and the Union and Ole Dishonest Abe violated more consitutional rights than just one, like the prison off the Maryland coast that was just for Political Prisoners.

Now when did the United States ever have a Prison for Political Prisoners until Lincoln took office, nor have we had a prison like that since. Prisoners because their Politics were in disagreement with the ruling Party, not because they broke the law.

So why did they have to make slavery the Primaruy Cause?, To hide their crmes behind a Humanitarian Cause. Because no other "Cause" would allow such crimes to go unpunished.

Rape, Arson, theft, murder, false imprisonment, property damage, Consitutional Violations, Invading another Nation without Cause, all for the Holy Cause of Freeing slaves.

When Lincoln accepted the Duel and chose shovels and Cow Manure as weapons, it is pretty obvious that he never stopped shoveling it after the Duel, we are still hearing his B.S. even today.
