That person was trying to help you out with a little history.

Understood -- you care not.

I’m deeply wounded. I may need to get checked out at that free ER you got on the mountain.

Congratulations you quoted a Union soldier. The fact still remains that as a result of their winning the war slavery was abolished.
I just like unvarnished truth. Call me old fashioned that way. Lincoln sure took his time on that proclamation thingy.

Nobody likes unvarnished truth. That's why there's so little of it. Everything is about making others feel good. And that's all the truth people want. Especially Christians.

I don’t know the specifics about that but I do know that he didn’t have to do anything at all. So I still think he deserves credit for standing up for the slaves and fighting for their freedom.

This thread makes me sick. I'll say the Pledge of Allegiance every chance I get, and I'll be proud to do it.
Have you said your Pledge today?

I say the pledge more times in one week than George Washington and Thomas Jefferson combined!
I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

He thought he needed to do it to end the war to keep the union together. Doesn’t diminish the outcome but he was not all in for abolition.

I don’t think Christians are worse than others as a group.

That’s the problem with stereotypes, they never really encompass the full spectrum of practices of the individuals within the group.

Don't say we. I have never treated any of them badly. And I am sure they at least have the potential in front of them to do as well as anyone else. History is unchangeable. I share no guilt for it and I sleep just fine. Same thing with slave descendants. Huge mistakes were made, but I didn't make them. I have no collective guilt for anything.

Yes yes. You are hereby absolved of all possible guilt. Now can we discuss the actual topic which is the fact of the poor treatment of indigenous populations?

One who I would never question -- God.
M-Bob

Why, will I be hit with lightening? Is God that thin-skinned?

Regardless my comment was about the ridiculous assertion that God let countless people die but used his powers to save an inanimate flag "cuz 'merica!!!"

I think he wasn't big for abolition. And I don't know if he did it for the sake of the union. I see it more as retaliation for the secession of the south.

What's the difference? What would he be retaliating for it not their rendering of the Union?

America was not the cause of African slavery.
That's not altogether true - America bought the slaves which led to more people being enslaved for profit.

And America was the cause of American slavery.

That's not the topic of this thread.
Doesn't even come close!
Maybe you need to hit the search button?
Or start your own thread?
Who started this one?
