This isn't about representing him as a historical figure. This is about promoting a racist agenda.

Which I respect their right to do so. But let's not be dishonest and their purpose.

I don't GAF about the sign, it's agenda or anything else associated with it or the group who paid for it.

My comment had nothing to do with that damn sign.

Every skirmish necessitates an invasion and forceful submission after a bloody four-year war?

Nobody even died at Ft. Sumter!

Look dude, I supported you with your Jackson comments, but to think Sumter was not an attack because no one died is absurd.

No, I agree that firing on Ft. Sumter was bad because it gave Lincoln the ammunition he wanted to declare war.

However, that doesn't justify the North's invasion.

Lincoln WANTED the South to fire and forced their hand.

None of you are getting the point. You don't defend one piece of **** by citing the ****ty actions of another piece of ****.

**** Sherman, but this isn't his thread. This thread is about NBF. **** him too.


If you and JKV want to follow suit with Franklin Pierce, then that's your case of schizophrenia to get treated.

I think the point of what FP was saying (I can hardly believe I'm defending him) is that Southern generals like NFB are held in far greater contempt for their misdeeds than the Northern generals like Grant and Sherman who are lauded as heroes, yet who did equal, if not worse, evils.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into FP's argument, but that was what I got from it.

It was logic on a long detour.
