    no. use of appropriate violence lead to the slaves being free

    … by a massive state apparatus that was elected by people who believed in abolition.

    Jesus Christ. Dogmatic thinking that would make a religious fanatic blush.

      sure, elected. that’s a consistent facet - and elections happened on the confederate side too.

      the fix was, and has been shown throughout all history, not voting harder. it was violence.

      elected except for people like John Brown. but you go ahead and keep thinking voting harder is what “fixed” the confederacy.
