A bullshit propagandized definition of the war. The Civil War was about tariffs, not slavery. Emancipation was just to propagandize an unpopular war and make it popular. The GA was effective propaganda, but let's not mistake it for historical fact.

Propaganda for plebs must always be brief and dumbed down, and this is one reason our democracy is crumbling. The infantile attention spans of social media junkies, whose brains are wired like those of heroin addicts, make meaningful public discourse on crucial issues impossible. That being said, my posts are often too long, I use voice rec. and don't type them though.

Lincoln went through no fewer than a half dozen revisions to get a long address short. Shakespeare, whoever he was, revised his plays for brevity. I hammer out my posts, not revising them like GA or plays. :-)

I am fine with everyone busting my balls though. It is funny and I deserve it at times. LOL.
