Amen hallelujahHe is still with us communicating His love and guidance as we wake up, a wonderful time to continue in this fellowship with the Father in Jesus name.
So you're saying that Abraham Lincoln and the Union army went to war with the south and lost hundreds of thousands of dedicated young men just because they didn't want to lose some tax money on cotton? Okay then. I won't argue with you. You are entitled to your opinion.that is the northern view.
the truth is that in 1860, the north placed tariffs on cotton, the south's largest cash crop. ( the union had no issue with slavery when they were making money off of it).
the southern states decided that since the union was going to treat it like a foreign nation, it would BE a foreign nation.
south carolina seceded first ( which was perfectly legal under the treaty of paris 1783, all states were recognized as independent)
union troops were ordered off confederate gov. property, they refused to leave ft. sumter, shots were fired, the civil war was began.
then, under the guise of freeing the slaves , the north went to war.
of course, slavery was dead wrong, and should have been abolished , but the yanks were no goodie two shoes....
if you go to youtube and type "Paul Overstreet Living by the Book album" a link should come up (it's the one I used to copy all these) where it has 14 songs listed then should be able to play them all without having to click each one.
it's hard to pick just one favorite from this selection, but I really like "wise men still seek Him" and "He is risen" and "dig another well".
Hope you get things resolved quickly Zero.....Oh well, my package was supposedly delivered to my mailbox today according to the USPS tracking system, but it wasn't there.Wasn't by the front door either. Filled out a missing mail report online. Guess we'll see what happens... Luckily it wasn't anything important, or terribly expensive.
