re: #128 WindUpBird
Thought I already did!
I will say this, the idea that it was Brown who “made the civil war a certainty” is bonkers lunacy
I don’t think DF is sympathizing with the South here WUB, I disagree with DF on a lot of things but the man is far away from being a Confederate apologist as one can be. I think he’s saying the South felt threatened by Brown’s raid and I don’t disagree with that. I still contend Lincoln’s election is what did it. You didn’t see any Southern states secede until Buchanan became a lameduck and Abe president elect.
