Civil War could have been avoided through negotiation

[lennypartiv]

Trump is right, we needed more statesmen back then who were willing to negotiate in order to prevent war from breaking out. So many lives lost for nothing. Lincoln should be remembered for that.

Trump says Civil War could have been negotiated

Former President Trump said he believed the Civil War could have been avoided through negotiation, though that would’ve changed the legacy of former President Lincoln. Trump, at an Iowa rally Saturday, said he finds the conflict “fascinating” but “so horrible.” He also noted the high death toll...

So Trump could have prevented the Civil War. Holy crap. Holy crap.

And yet, he's CREATING one now. That's a little ironic.

No, it could not have been negotiated.

The Southern landowners were not giving up their slaves.

Or.....the South should be remembered for murdering tens of thousands of US soliders to preserve the power of the State to strip people of every right so they could be sold as property.

So much for 'States' Rights', eh? The legacy of the antebellum south was murdering to preserve evil. That's what they should be remembered for.

Always.

Trump didn't say what, just that "something could have been negotiated", but it got Lenny moist.

Yeah, some compromise where slavery would have remained intact. The White Supremacists MAGA.

Though White Supremacist MAGA is kinda redundant.

something can always be negotiated. trump's record in afghanistan might indicate caution before letting him near a foreign diplomat again.

Who knows. Trump just flaps his gums. It's a cult

Making states stay in the Union at the point of a bayonet is nothing more than a hostage situation.

the best argument against secession is from franklin in 1776

"we all hang together or we will certainly hang separately

. "

No, it could not have been negotiated.

Exactly

There was no middle ground for slave owners.
It was their “property“and they were not going to willingly give it up.

Additionally, they considered blacks to be subhuman and a danger if not controlled.

Trump is wrong.

The feds were NEVER going to permit secession.

Negotiating with terrorist psychopath Lincoln would have been as useful as inviting Hitler to Shabbat so he could see Jews weren't really so bad.

To think otherwise is willfully ignorant.

 

[rightwinger]

What was negotiable? Slavery? Secession?

Lincoln did try to negotiate on secession and offered to take slavery off the table in order to preserve the union.
The South wanted no part of it

Considering we are talking about a nation that had 40 percent of its population in slavery, that is an odd claim

Confederacy: We are nothing but HOSTAGES
Slaves: Tell me about it

It worked.

The end.
