JAKEo,

Do you believe everything you read in today’s newspapers. Do you believe everything you hear on CNN or MSNBC?

Notice I seldom use quotes or newspaper articles. I never post an opinion unless asked. There is a reason, first of all I do not like opinions one way or the other from either side. As I told Alan and he got mad about it I can find quotes all day long to represent one side or the other. Take for instance I have transcribed a letter Thomas J. Rankin, Co.F., 7th Miss. he clearly states " I had rather die than succumb to Lincolism." I can promote this as the feeling of the entire Confederate Army from any general to any private or as teamster.

What I do is I search for original documents and such to support my argument at my last count you only supplied 4 Causes of Secession by the first four states. Not even half of the Confederacy!! Not Half**** Now you go and promote these four documents as the official position of the ENTIRE Confederate States of America. It is just not true. Not only that you want to pick just the word slave and offer that as the entire basis for the Confederacy. Look over the documents and read them Note what I have been posting. Take a unbiased view of what is written and really read what they have stated especially Mississippi.
