    Much has been written about Slavery and the War of Northern Aggression with opinions going from it had nothing to do with it to the only reason it was fought was to retain slavery. Our own poll shows this wild swing in beliefs is present in our own membership.

    I would therefore like to offer this link for your consideration, enjoyment, and opinion.

    It is quite a long read and the quote I've posted is the very last statement. I did so with the full desire to entice you to read it thru. The two parts in bold are my doing. The truth they pronounced is undeniable IMHO.
