Theodore Roosevelt busted monopolies and favored progressive income taxes, yet also was a militarist; he created the national parks, but blew away beautiful wild creatures. 22/29

USA was founded on gross hypocrisies. Constitution speaks of “Justice” & “Liberty” yet protected the most vile of institutions, slavery. Inconsistency between stated values and conduct is American as chop suey. 23/29

Actually if Southern Scum leaders had not tortured preachers who preached against slavery, made it a crime punishable by torture to own a book or publish anything against slavery -- slavery could have gone by by as intended Get more than slogans. Get facts. CONTD

At the convention both Pinckneys and Rutledge, all from S Carolina, were adamant to keep slavery. + stmts of secession were issued by 4 states & all stressed slavery as reason. What slogans have I used?

I asked you what slogans I repeated. I also referred to secession statements of 4 States - Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas - as to why they seceded. To say slavery would have gone away if ministers had been allowed to preach is simplistic.

These secession stmts reflected the dominant view of citizens of the South. "The end of slavery would mean the end of the South. .. Though not all Southerners felt this way, most did." Kaplan, Lincoln and the Abolitionists, 2017, p. 266.

When you imply I am uninformed, you seem to overlook my cites to historical documents and scholarly commentary on history. Reasons the Civil War occurred are complex. What support do you have for your assertions?
