My argument does not hinge on owning people. It hinges on rushing into a war that kills 600,000+ Americans over property.
Easily the most ignorant thing I've read on this site. And I've seen quite a bit.
Did you know that the US Government classified slaves as property until 1865? Yep, you could buy slaves just like you buy a cheeseburger today. Do you know when Lincoln started the Civil War?
Did you know that you are an ignorant fool who choses to live in an alternate reality where everything is taken literally and there is always a good choice and you can ignore anyone who you can't make a counter-argument to?

I'm a little disturbed that you're missing the entire point.

Slavary was legal. Yes.

But it was IMMORAL. It was wrong and needed to end immediately.

Who said it wasn't immoral?

You obviously haven't bothered to read much of this thread. The US Government allowed the purchase of slaves. When you purchase something, it is your property. I'm not going to judge to morality of people 160+ years ago with today's standards.

And who said anything about today's standards? It was already viewed as immoral by the vast majority of the civilized world in the 19th century. USA's "peers" were already abolishing slavery.

your analogy of the govt taking away your car is bullshit and ignorant.

Lincoln killed 600,000 Americans? What kind of asinine garbage is being talked about in this thread?
If Lincoln gets credit for freeing slaves, he gets the blame for 600,000+ Americans who died in the Civil War. The war he started 1 month into office.
He didn't start it. The south did.

Property is property, moron.

And the USA didn't abolish slavery until 1865. Was the USA not in the civilized world?

FWIW, I've already said we were pretty barbaric back then. Native Americans agree.

How about the inept James Buchanan who kicked the can down the road when he knew it was a powder keg for 4 years.

The South knew they would start the war on bare news of Lincoln's election

Some northern states already abolished it WAY before 1865 dipshiit.

The North (and Lincoln) didn't view slaves as property. They were human beings. So Lincoln didn't "start a war that killed 600,000 Americans over property" you narrow minded piece of ****.

And comparing Lincoln to Saddam is beyond stupid (even for you Mike).

Yes a lot of people died in the civil war but those were soldiers. Not women and children.
