Lol......This ought to ruffle some feathers. Ron Paul is an economic idiot. As the supply dwindles, the prices would have escaladed. I wonder what price he thinks they should have paid for them?
Hot Air Headlines Ron Paul: Why didnt the north just buy the souths slaves and free them that way?
Getting down to the last two questions here . Most people consider Abe Lincoln to be one of our greatest presidents, if not the greatest president weve ever had. Would you agree with that sentiment and why or why not?
No, I dont think he was one of our greatest presidents. I mean, he was determined to fight a bloody civil war, which many have argued could have been avoided. For 1/100 the cost of the war, plus 600 thousand lives, enough money would have been available to buy up all the slaves and free them. So, I dont see that is a good part of our history.....
Lincoln was not a great president.
He is repsponsible for starting the erosion of states rights.
Um....no
Lincoln was dead when the erosion of states rights began under the "Radical Republicans," despite the feeble attempts by Andrew Johnson to preempt them before they could return to congress in December, 1865.
