  • If I can find a legit lynch, as opposed to a now supposedly inactive/sure to be WOGed person, then I probably won't. If I can't, I'll vote Gary.
    Well, I'm still waiting on Takhisis' feedback and I'll probably need to recruit ATPG to look it over. It's barely moved this month, to be honest.
    "Glad to see you found Forum Games!"
    Thank you. :) Sorry it took me so long to respond, I had to get my PMs first.
    To the first one:

    True, however eventually the Missouri "Compromise" was really just an attempt to make the federal government in charge of the states without reason. IF the slaves weren't people (Which was how most people unfortunately viewed it back then) then popular soverignty or legalizing it everywhere would have been smarter. Since slaves were people, it should be illegal everywhere. But, it wasn't, and the North didn't care too, hence they were compromisers. In other areas, the South supported states rights and except for slavery I agreed with them.

    To the Second thing: I used to live in Florida, and they weren't too uncommon there, however in NC when I was visiting I saw a lot of them. I laughed when I saw one in Pennsylvania. Never here in NY.
    Also, I support a state's right to secede. I don't support ANYONE'S right to hold slaves, however the federal government didn't care about ending slavery, they just wanted to rule over the South IMO.

    Just a question BTW, are Confederate flags often or ever seen in Texas?
    That was why I don't like the North.

    Also, its hypocritical the North's stance. Slavery I agree is opposed by the constitution and should be federally banned, however, if its a state's right it IS a state's right, no matter where that state happens to be sitting, so essentially the North were hypocrites (The south were as well I agree.)

    Think of it this way, right now abortion is (Foolishly IMO) allowed everywhere. If Roe VS Wade was overturned and it became state's rights (It should be federally banned IMO) it would be foolish to say "Well, states north of this line can't have it, states south of this line can." That would be dumb IMO.
    Lincoln didn't support slavery, but the North as a whole didn't oppose it.

    Lincoln opposed it some, but not enough. But the North had no intentions of ending it.
    Lincoln didn't support it, far from it. Personally he hated it. But he was like Mitt Romney was with abortion "Well, I don't PERSONALLY SUPPORT IT..."

    That's all well and good for such issues as gay marriage, drug legalization, exc. where it only hurts yourself, but when someone is hurting somebody else, that is the ONLY reason for government.
    Not at all actually.

    Lincoln said "If I can save the Union without freeing a single slave I will do it and if I can save the Union while freeing all the slaves I will do it.

    Don't get me wrong, Lincoln wasn't a fan of slavery but he wasn't willing to do nearly as much about it as I once thought.

    As for the border states, don't even start...
