Reply #37: Slavery, much like democracy in Iraq, was the third choice for war... [View All]

That had raged on for a couple of years, if my memory serves me correct, before the Emancipation Proclamation. We only know what we read in our history books and what our teachers taught us but I have a difficult time finding any great Americans that were calling for a cease fire or offering to talk peace rather than see our brothers and cousins killed. Does anyone find that unusual? Just asking...DU has made me very skeptical of even our most accepted history lessons...
