Quote by: GHook93  Slavery was immoral and NEEDED to be purged from out society. If Lincoln didn't move when he did the South would have gotten even strong and more than likely defeated the North. Along with WW II, War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War, the Civil War was one of the most important and necessary wars in American History!
Sometime morals should trump everything else. Also the war power specifically allowed for this war, so I don't want to hear that argument. |
Obviously, your argument rests on the premises that 1) slavery is immoral, and 2) that the government has any place in legislating or enforcing moral standards.
You've given no warrants for either.
