First off please don't call me Boss. August or Dave will suffice.
Now as to your post. I was mainly joking when I suggested that you may not have much of an argument but only because you won't present it. Instead you try to lead me on this Grant the Butcher boondoggle which Steve and Bilge Rat have already addressed.
So far you have not eliminated slavery from the argument to my or anyone elses satisfaction. I'll say it again, had the institution of slavery never existed the south would not have seceded. Protecting that "right" is what pushed them into rebellion. They said it themselves so you can't just dismiss it.
Oh and Thanks a lot Confederates for making the first big test of states rights to be about the right to keep slaves! Had it been about something like illegal immigration instead maybe we could have resolved this in court and avoided the war.
