1. Why shouldn't slavery was still legal in the Union states. I fail to see what point you are trying to make here. Slavery was legal in both the USA and CSA.

2. First let me correct myself, it is page 29 instead of 19. I guess the page flipped as I was moving the book. The post may not give any new information to other readrers of the board, but it does give you new info. You are the one who said the South made the first agressive move. Here is clear proof we did not. This is not an interpation, but written by a man who lived the times. And what was Anderson defending against? The Confederates could have attacked him long before his move if they had the desire.

You are right about the spelling, I also no how to spell Sumter. Thank you for nit-picking, peop,e usul;ally do that when they have noother argument.

Correct Alexander was not in the South at the time but was still a Union officer until his resignation was final

3. As wll as the Norths?

4. No just like I said partly. I asked you if the fact the states losing the right to choose was an issue you siad "No>" Well according to this iste it is a fact they were concerned. I believe the last sentence I posted says something to the effect that Lincoln and the abolishist went to work immediately to remove this right. It was a real concern and you are only partly right.

I have proved all my points, feel free to have the last word.
