Can I join in on the argument? Just kidding. I'm starting like Pancha, and Squirrel. They have their own opinion on things. In fact, I think we should divide this debate into the two groups but I want to be in the group that stumpamudholenu is in. I just love the way he is able to bring princess, sealrborder and etc. down a notch.\nFreedom of speech!!\nGot to love and hate the first amendment.

Lincoln and the Republicans, a new political party at that time, opposed the spread of slavery to the Northwest Territories.  He outlined his reasons for opposition and the arguments put forward from the other side; then asked that opposing ideas be discussed civilly.

I don't really pay attention to either side's nonsense.  Rather I find 3-5 other places that confirm or deny it.  If at least 3 don't agree on what was stated or how, it's probably nonsense.  Or I compare both sides on the same issue and then make up my own opinion.

Aalexart put the case extremely well, and has obviously like me read several books that have no bias.\nThe site below will help you, the presumptiousness of man that we can influence the weather. King Canute had more success with the tide.\nYes we are gradually returning to the climate pre the mini ice age, but we still have a long way to go.

Due to my ignorance on this issue, I can not take a stand so I'd like to here the conservative counter to this. This sounds very intriguing.

It's arbitrary.  We can say whatever side we want is north.

I wont give you a Paragraph but I will get you started,\n\nIn the 1850's and early 1860's abolitionists who had the dream of ending slavery angered many southerners who wanted to keep their lasting traditions.  Many historians believe that the abolistionist movement in the north, along with the book "Uncle Toms Cabin" were major contributing factors to the Civil war.\n\n\nGood Luck!

As I understand your question which could be all wrong, you are asking for a list of causes and effects. In this asking you are attempting to place a limit or to suggest the areas considered as an attorney would in a court room to extract answers he desired to serve his purposes.\n\nI do see in your last question a direct link to a motive and again I may be wrong. What are you trying to say by "northern roots" If I live in Norway my northern roots are the arctic circle.\nIf I live above the Manson-Dixon line the roots are the Yankee country. If I live at the south pole the northern roots are the whole world.\n\nMy simple answer is My God is in control of everything, and does place into my mind all my thoughts to serve his purposes and to lead me to make that one and only one optional decision.\n\nI am sure that is not the answer you wanted but for now that is all I can give because your question is far from specific to me other that as I stated, CAUSE/EFFECT.\n\nYou have a good day and thanks for asking. Do smile a lot and enjoy life.

By your question I can tell you have no idea why the War of Northern Aggression (aka Civil War) was fought. In actuality only the north and mainly Lincoln made it a racial war. Lincoln had to have a reason for fighting his war because he had lost his biggest asset for running the government and the North was rapidly going into a depression without the tax money from the South. Lincoln provoked the war to bring back the southern states to regain the taxes he had lost with the succession of the south by putting more and more troops into Ft. Sumter against the demands of the Confederacy not to do so. President Davis sent several emissaries to Washington requesting no additional troops or arms into the fort or the Confederacy would consider it an aggressive act of war and fire. Lincoln put more troops and arms in and the Confederacy fired.\n\nIf you go to the South today you will find in almost every state that there is not a reestablishment of racial supremacy by the whites, On the contrary, especially in Mississippi the blacks are taking over city governments rapidly and most do not make any bones about it they want the whites out. I heard this myself while in MS last year during mayoral races when one black mayoral canadate said if elected she would do all she could to drive the whites out of her city. She won the vote.\n\nNow before any blacks get upset and start calling me names, I have nothing against blacks in any way. I have a number of very good friends who are black and have a cousin in the my family who is black. I consider all people equal unless an individual person creates a situation that should not be tolerated by anyone.

It's all history - being in the right place at the right time - or wrong. Remember America is the new land of the Puritans. The Puritans didn't leave England because they were persecuted as much as they left because they lost their bid to frame the theology of the Anglican Church. In America they were free to influence the new and growing Protestant population. The underlying themes were church control and strictly dictated morality. \n\nYou have to skip ahead a couple hundred years for the rest. By this time, the Puritan philosophy had entered mainstream American Protestanism:\n"In 1883 a group of Christian bible scholars met for the first time at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, near Niagara Falls and established the principles of Christian fundamentalism. Article XIV of the 1878 Niagara Bible Conference Creed states, 'We believe that the world will not be converted during the present dispensation, but is fast ripening for judgment, while there will be a fearful apostasy in the professing Christian body; and hence that the Lord Jesus will come in person to introduce the millennial age, when Israel shall be restored to their own land, and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord; and that this personal and premillennial advent is the blessed hope set before us in the Gospel for which we should be constantly looking.'"\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Bible_Conference \n\n"The term fundamentalism was first used in the early 20th century to refer to an American Protestant movement that asserted the literal truth of the Bible (not only against unbelievers but also against "sophisticated" theological interpretation) at a time when Darwinian evolution, secularism, and liberal theology were emerging. The centerpiece of this movement was a twelve-volume publication printed between 1910 and 1915 entitled The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth." \nhttp://www.ssrc.org/sept11/essays/teaching_resource/tr_fundamentalisms.htm\n\n"In the protestant milieu of the USA, fundamentalism crystallized in response to liberals' eagerness to bring Christianity into the post-Darwinian world by questioning the scientific and historical accuracy of the scripture. Subsequently, the scourge of evolution was linked with socialism, and during the Cold War period, with communism. This unholy trinity came to be regarded as a sinister, atheistic threat to Christian America...Bruce [Chpt. 9 of Caplan 1987] suggests that to understand the success of the Moral Majority, an alliance between the conservative forces of the New Right and the fundamentalist wings on the mainly Southern Baptist Churches, we have to appreciate these fears, as well as the impact of a host of unwelcome changes - in attitudes to 'morality', family, civil and women's rights, and so on - which have, in the wake of economic transformations since the Second World War, penetrated especially the previously insular social and cultural world of the American South." (Caplan 1987: 6)\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalism\n\nHere's the official view from the Catholic Church (The Whore of Babylon, according to some fundamentalists):\nhttp://www.catholic.com/library/Fundamentalism.asp\n...and their broadminded take on a few sticking points:\nhttp://www.catholic.com/library/faith_science.asp

Because the north needs this myth to justify the slaughter of 1/4 of southern men by The American army. ( as well as 5/8 of the rape)The yankee empire should give the south back to the confederacy, and they should start with georgia.

Hey, I am from the South....and his response was widely known!  It was called The Civil War....the south raised taxes on its goods, ie cotton, tobacco.  Also, he had been misinformed on why the south seceded.
