Pam, that's the way of today's "liberals"; Never nind the facts, simply attack the person as some sort of trogladite. Slavery was one of many factors responsible for the war; to claim it was the only one, is pure sophistry, with which this Mr. Jones abounds. Hyperbole did not suffuse only the 1860s, it abounds today. Stan
(BTW, JFK died 47 years ago today. I last saw him a month before that. He was a flawed but great man.)
