[extropy-chat] slaveholders got their just desserts

[Trend Ologist]

I don't comprehend what you have against the North:
the North waited until Fort Sumter was attacked, the
North won the war, freed the slaves, Andrew Jackson
tried to oppose the radical reconstructionists, and
finally the election of 1876 resulted in a deal that
removed Federal occupation forces from the South. From
1861- 1876 the South was freed. Not bad for fifteen
years.
BTW, I notice you said nothing, so far, concerning my
comments on German grievances. Perhaps you dislike
Germany because Germans have long had ties with Iraq--
a nation you were wounded in? You don't like the
French too much, either, do you? But of course I'm
assuming again, and assuming is a grave sin, isn't it?
