  1. Initially, yes. But after Lincoln's call for volunteers that drove the Upper South out of the Union, it become more about a perceived abuse of executive power.
  2. You are confusing the reasons for secession and the reasons for war. However, it's interesting that you reference the Crittenden Compromise and Corwin Amendment. While Lincoln did oppose the Crittenden Compromise, he approved of the Corwin Amendment. In fact, in his first inaugural he stated: If anything, Lincoln's approval of the Corwin Amendment and the seceded states' decisions to remain out of the Union only furthers the argument that the war was more about Southern independence than slavery.
  3. And what battles were raging when Stephens delivered his Cornerstone Speech? Also, the reasons for secession are not the same as the reasons for the war or soldiers' motivations for fighting.
  4. All of y'all saying that the war was about slavery might be interested to hear what Lincoln had to say.
  5. A Time to Kill was entertaining.
  6. Alright. On the merits then, if the Anglicizing of Jesus is a perpetuation of white supremacy, is the continued use of English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese in Latin America and Africa a micro-aggression as well? But yeah, I'm the one whining, not the person calling for the removal of religious art that is hundreds of years old.
  7. Cool. The Renaissance is now canceled.
  8. But St. Augustine of Canterbury is from... you know what... doesn't even matter anymore.
  9. Fucking yikes
  10. "And that was the last time Youth Pastor Tim was allowed to design the church league uniforms for Christ United Methodist."
  11. It’s always been more puzzling to me that the song is to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” That is some masochistic shit if there ever was.
  12. Wear these one game a year, but "The Eyes" stays, and you've got yourself a motherfucking deal.
  13. This will happen here, too, book it, and possibly as a compromise to keep "The Eyes." I love our burnt orange, but for people wanting to start a "new tradition," this might not be a horrible way to show support for our black players and community, and a lot of the players would love it. Hell, even places like Notre Dame wears alternate unis once a year. Might as well use this as a reason to embrace the idea.
  14. I didn’t think it was bad. It didn’t meet expectations, but I’d watch season 2.
  15. I wouldn’t sweat it. Different players will make that request in a couple years.
  16. How about good television?
  17. George likes 4 Non Blondes, because of course he does.
  18. This launched yesterday, but I still can’t sign in with my DirecTV/AT&T accounts. Anyone else having the same issue?
  19. This actually made me chuckle.
  20. I had never heard more shit-talking from opposing fans on 6th St. the night before a game as I did from Mizzou fans in '08. They weren't quite as loud on Saturday night.
  21. More not-a-mountain-lion talk from George…
