ah well, that would be the Yankee view
Your answer seems to be b). I would agree
The South used slaves. As did many , many other countries/areas of the world (including UK). We didnt kill half a million of our citizens to bring it to an end. It happened. It is the natural way of things.
Several Southern states were moving towards non-sla ...[text shortened]... publicise.

the North would not have persuaded 260 000 plus men to lay down their lives in the cause of freeing the slaves alone.

First of all Ponderable I am not condoning badgers behaviour. What I am actually critical of is the prevalence of a culture of grassbags. Lets us think of some famous grassbags. Judas Iscariot who betrayed the Christ. John de Menteith who betrayed William Wallace.
Before I read your post any further I have to pause at this juncture to point out what an utter utter twit you are.

Lastly if anyone here was to actually follow the 'letter of the law' then people like Suzzianne and Boobla should also be banned, for as per the terms of service anyone calling another an 'idiot', should be subject to a forum ban, instantly.
