:rofl1: Didn't expect you to take my suggestion literally...but it works.

Maybe we should have some sort of "debate" topic every so often in here about whatever.

But that's completely off topic and should be put somewhere else... :lol:

It wouldn't be bad if we all follow some guidelines, like not making personal attacks and so on.

As for the Civil War...there is another book (I can't remember the title, "read" it for History 20) in which a historian who used to believe the war was fought over State's rights says it was about slavery.

To answer the question in the subtitle: yes, slavery is overemphasized. I can tell you how I know. I know that the war was over things more than just slavery, I just don't remember any of them because of the emphasis placed on slavery.

I just meant there should be debate specific guidelines. Probably should have said that before.

Anyways, I don't know if it should be "Debate of the Week" and just call it the Debate thread as some debates may be worth longer or shoter than a week.

Back to the Civil War...slavery was a big issue...and was the most talked about before states did seceed.
