While you may recognize a quote, you don't seem to be able to figure out what was said. If you notice that in one quote Abraham Lincoln reveals a personal preference, while in another he expressed the well known cause of the war. The proposition to which you turned your limited wit was: *the Civil War was primarily over the issue of slavery* <font color=purple> I do not wish to be misunderstood upon this subject of slavery in this country. I suppose it may long exist, and perhaps the best way for it to come to an end peaceably is for it to exist for a length of time. But I say that the spread and strengthening and perpetuation of it is an entirely different proposition. There we should in every way resist it as a wrong, treating it as a wrong, with the fixed idea that it must and will come to an end.</font> Abraham Lincoln Speech at Chicago, Illinois March 1, 1859 TP
