RE: Mr. Lee
You people need to read James Oaks, Freedom National:The Destruction of Slavery in the United States, 1861-1865 (New York: Norton, 2013).

He is a credible historian recognized in the profession and he writes about how and why Lincoln and Seward wanted a war and started one intentionally to solve the slavery problem.

I have a 45 page paper on this topic, but I doubt it will see the light of day any time soon if ever. It is all a matter of taking political power from the South and giving it to the North. This is why the Constitution had to be amended 3 times after the war. Whether or not we like it, the original document was biased toward the South and slavery.

BTW, this book was referred to this book list some time back by Rob Wick, if I remember correctly. Amazing that he and I can agree on anything concerning the war. . . .
