"I really don't like losing land and the fact States can secede Constitutionally pisses me off, so I'm going to wage the bloodiest war in US history as the complete aggressor to re-conquer land and anyone who says it's a bad idea publicly is going to jail because fuck you." - Abraham Lincoln
pretty sure that's not a 1oo-percent accurate quotation there

Black people. He wanted to deport them and make America white again, but dixie's wanted to import more coloreds for cheap labor and breed them to increase population and voting power of their states. Some dixie got so mad he assassinated him, and the south has had black people ever since.

That's stupid, you're both stupid and if true Lincoln is even stupider than he already seems. Why wouldn't he just say, "Hey South, niggers suck, let's vote to get rid of all of them"? That would be unanimous. But no Democracy and being in a Constitutional Republic is too hard for such a tyrannical retard. Instead of just making a good pitch to deport blacks he decides to rape the Constitution in multiple ways and get hundreds of thousands killed.

You do realize the south literally fought the civil war for the right to own slaves right?

There was no precedent that states could leave the union, they ratified the consitution, it was law, if they were so legally minded then they could've proposed ammendments to allow for secession, but instead decided to subvert democracy because they thought they'd be outvoted.

as if it's wrong to own slaves. every culture from the beginning of time owned people. American slavery was no more brutal than most other forms of slavery, and decisively less brutal than some, such as Islamic slavery and Aztec slavery.

there should be legal slavery only for people who say slavery wasn't that bad.
Isaiah Sanchez
Tell it to Aristotle, pussy. People in society have different roles, based on their capacity. Some people are literally only good for ordering around and cannot make their own decisions. Such is the state of most Negros with their **AVERAGE** iq hovering at about 70, just barely above mentally retarded. This is why Negros are always in trouble with society, because they are too dumb to manage their own affairs, and must be more or less taken care of, which is why they are so disproportionately on welfare. If we're gonna take care of them, we might as well get some work out of them or if we find slavery too abhorrent, can't we at least get them out of our society which requires about 100 iq to function normally.

You realize that slaves were the largest investment of wealth in the South, right? To outlaw slavery overnight would mean most of the wealthy Southernerners are rendered near penniless. Sure, Lincoln offered buybacks, but at a fraction of the market value at the time. You also have to remember that in that time the average wealth per capita in the South was almost double, had a stronger military tradition, and in that time people still identified with whatever State they came from. There were no 'Americans' at that time; only Virginians, New Yorkers, Georgians, etc. People really did believe the USA was more of a confederation of invidual countries united for the purpose of fending off invasion and ensuring rights, nothing more. This is all on top of the fact that in that day many people, if not most, were appalled by the notion of a central government using its coffers in such a way. If you've the time, take it to listen to this: youtube.com/watch?v=daay8yvgsGM

This is what gets me the most. I'm told this time and time again but every time I open a Civil War thread I'm always treated to Dixies going on and on about how black people were better off under slavery or how we should have killed all the niggers, etc. It's pretty easy to tell why nobody takes them seriously in real life.
Justin Gonzalez
This. Don't forget that slavery was effectively undermining wages for poor Southerns and was creating a massive gulf between the rich and the poor in the region.
Brandon Bell
The South seceded before Lincoln was even in office. He was just quelling a rebellion, like presidents such as Jackson had done before
Slave labor was actually more efficient than free wage labor m8, it wasn't a war of economics, it was a war of moral standards over the concept of having slavery in a country founded on liberal principles. In the years after the revolution, the northern states all abolisehd slavery and in the south manumissions rose sharply. Slavery was seen as a necessary evil back then and was something to wither away ASAP. However, after the banning of the slave trade in 1808, the practices of slaveholders changed to make thier life expetancies higher, stronger, well-fed, etc. and this would cause slavery to flourish more than ever by the 1830s and as such apologists came to defend it as a positive good rather than a necessary evil.

That was in response to some guy saying the south would be happy to ship black people off to Africa is Abe just asked them too. How about following the discussion a little?

>People in society have different roles, based on their capacity. >Some people are literally only good for ordering around and cannot make their own decisions.
A position which seems to be championed wholly by those who are on the good end of the society stick and don't want to do any of their own work.
Liam Collins
>it wasn't a war of economics, it was a war of moral standards One hand washes the other, it was both. The South was intimidated by the dominance of Northern industry and were entirely dependent on the slavery system. It wasn't an impossible problem to fix, the south wouldn't have been left helpless, but nope, muh culture n heritage.
