I was more relating his professor to a demagogue, but close enough I suppose. I really don't see Lincoln needing to do so, volunteers for the Union were through the roof as soon as the South attacked. |

I'm not sure how I missed this post, but it pretty much ends the argument of you having a clue about this issue. 1.) You're arguing about the American Civil War and you don't even know about the 3/5 Compromise. 2.) The North had roughly two and a half times the population of the South. Hence, the South could be overrepresented (through slaves, who were contributing votes but not represented) but still fail to have a plurality. Slaves made up one third of the population in the South, and about one one-hundredth of the population in the North. 3.) The South bombarded Fort Sumter, there's no way the North could have fired the first shot. Thanks for making it easy for me. =o |
