well, then, why annexation after victory? if it was merely a defensive war.

in fact, formal separation from morally wretched invaders would be even more desirable.

your bad faith is striking. I suppose its required if you're going to hold the north to an impossible standard and the south to none at all

the North destroyed its morally superior society through the mistake of annexation. by their own standards, they are to be held responsible

anyway, I guess the main point has already been granted: freeing the slaves was perfectly compatible with secession.

serious ?s: 1. do you believe in the existence of facts, and, if so, do they matter for your ideas? 2. why don't racist orgs bother you?

Regardless of presence/absence of racism, what's important is the thought. Full stop.
