re: Why did the Union not allow the Confederacy to secede without a war?
Posted by Oneforthemoney on 5/17/26 at 11:59 am to TulsaSooner78
Pretty simple.
My view was always that the south made the goods, shipped them to the north which shipped them overseas. Tarrifs involved and North would get money. South wanted to bypass the north and go straight to shipping overseas and the north wasnt having it. South seceded in order to basically get rid of the middle man.
They also wanted a port in Charleston that got blockaded.
This is what I have to say about the Civil War. The South were aholes for wanting to keep slavery. The North were aholes for going to war with the other group of aholes and fought to keep the aholery intact.
If the Civil War wouldn't have happened, the South would have ended slavery without war in a few years time due to the Dutch shutting the slave trade down and the majority of the world ending slavery.

Executive Mansion,
Washington, August 22, 1862.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.
I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.
As to the policy I "seem to be pursuing" as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.
Yours,
A. Lincoln.

re: The controversy over the gerrymandered states to eliminate oppositional seats

To those fleeing Texas Democrats that say that they are saving democracy in Texas and the United States relative to congressional redistricting, here are the facts:
MA: 36% Republican, 0 seats
CT: 42% Republican, 0 seats
ME: 46% Republican, O seats
NM: 46% Republican, O seats
NH: 48% Republican, O seats
RI: 42% Republican, O seats
VT: 32% Republican, O seats
HI: 38% Republican, 0 seats
DE: 42% Republican, O seats
Also, as to some of the blue states that were benevolent enough to give us a smidgen:
CA: 38% Republican, only 9 of 52 seats (20.9%)
IL: 44% Republican, only 3 of 17 seats (17.6%)
NY: 43% Republican, only 7 of 26 seats (26.9%)
MD: 34% Republican, only 1 of 8 seats (12.5%)
NJ: 46% Republican, only 3 of 12 seats (25%)
OR: 41% Republican, only 1 of 6 seats (16.7%)
Why is it that if Republicans do redistricting, it's a threat to democracy. Yet, if Democrats do redistricting, it's democracy itself.

Reduce it to 2 entrances and put up metal detectors. The city is safe but has psychopaths that now prefer to drive down to the nice parts of town to shoot each other.
That's how the Philippines does at some of their malls. Metal detectors, security /law enforcement at all entrances. They check all bags, purses, backpacks and people with metal wands.

China and Japan have low crime rates. Beside culture, it's harsh prison sentences and horrid living conditions in prisons. No one wants to go to prison.
Knew a guy that worked on a private prison in louisiana. Added roof to full court cement basketball court. Had beach volleyball court. Had soccer field. Prison cells had microwaves and 52" plasma tvs in them. Built addition for dentistry and medical. Built classroom building with 60+ brand-new desktop Dell pcs. I mean (shrugs shoulders)
