"I might add that if the facts show that, when offered a clear choice between keeping slavery or gaining independence, then the War could more properly be called the "War to Maintain Southern Slavery".

I can also play that game how about all the abuse inflicted on the Southern civilians and the unnecessary burning of the towns and we call it a "Lincoln's War Against Old Men Women and Children?" The facts do prove this.

I told you don't think of me as PC, I can get down with the best of 'em.

I assume you have some completely unknown fact that proves the goal of the North was to do away with slavery and the South's goal was to keep slavery? If so please post we all both North and South, East and West, Reb and Yank, Red, Yellow, Black and White would love to see these facts.

Don't bother answering a question with a question, I ain't playing that game.
