So, to continue here with the provocative questions posed by Ben Stein back in 2003 in the "American Spectator" regarding the Civil War. here's his second question:
#2.
"To slightly restate this [Question #1, previous blog] – assuming, as I do, that slavery was a moral evil of horrendous proportions – could it not have been allowed to wither away?
Slavery was horrific, but so are the deaths of 600,000 plus men and the maiming of millions. Does the ultimate responsibility lie with the abolitionists, the secessionists or with both? And how could any of them live with themselves ever after, when they saw the rivers, oceans of blood?"
