Stupidly -- there is not one -- not one text book in the United States (until college) that even mentions that Jeff Davis --and Stephen A Douglas trashed or hated Lincoln --- because they wanted to spread slavery to the Pacific.
Why? Ego. They both craved to be the "admiration" and "terror" of the world.
This is just one of three things many or our "scholars" often don' mention about the Lincoln Douglas debates---
Yet all three were proudly important to Lincoln -- nothing was more important to Lincoln and to history than these three things.
1) Why Lincoln followed Douglas around the country to get the debates, and why Douglas ran from debates.
2) What did the debates have to do with Jeff Davis sending two groups of paid men to invaded starting 1854
3) Why Jeff Davis needed paid killers .
4) Why at this time was Douglas actively helping Jeff Davis to send the paid killers, and to justify the paid killers.
This was, of course, from the famous Lincoln Douglas debates. And it was proudly important -- important to Jeff Davis and, at this time, Davis's partner Stephen A Douglas.
HOW would "we" (the united States) be the admiration and terror of the world?
Douglas accused Lincoln of PREVENTING the US from becoming "the admiration and Terror of the World" by stopping the SPREAD of slavery to the Pacific."
. Davis -- since 1847-- was essentially insane, obsessed, to not only spread slaver -- but Davis was at the center of all violence to spread slavery.
When Lincoln - as he did over and over -exposed in great detail, and at great length -- exposed
So of course no US text book explains that if Lincoln will get out of the way --slavery can spread not just to the Pacific, but to much of Latin America.
The only way to spread slavery into Kansas or spread slavery to the Pacific, and to spead slavery to much of Latin America was by using paid killers.
Even in college text books this
Admiration amd theme (it was a basic attack on Lincoln, right behind "Mr. Lincoln wants your daughters to sleep with ______"
Admiration amd theme (it was a basic attack on Lincoln, right behind "Mr. Lincoln wants your daughters to sleep with ______"
Crowd yelled at Lincoln before Lincoln could speak "Down with Niggers."
Maybe a worse mistake - we do not candidly teach this;
CROWDS CHEERED
Ironically -- South leaders themselves UNTIL THEY LOST-- are the best historians. To cheering crowds, to future generations, in their own speeches, in their own publications, in their own newspapers and books --at the time taught it best.

Our text books do not even mention, much less teach as basic that South leaders, Jeff Davis was a Trump level lunatic on this point -- not only enslaved tortured for God, but they were at war ----specifically at war--to SPREAD slavery for God.
South lunatic leaders taught slavery and Civil War best -- until they lost.
South leaders bragged
bragged to cheering crowds
bragged to future generations
bragged officially, loudly proudly and in great detail.. -- until they lost.
They not only enslaved and tortured for God --- they were at war to SPREAD -- specifically to spread slavery for GOD
______________________
Lunatic Jeff Davis
Jeff Davis was a lunatic -- if you define a lunatic as someone who is obsessed to spread slavery for God. Specifically to violently spread slavery.
You would already know that Davis was a lunatic if you were taught about Kansas, the invasions tortures and killings in Kansas arranged and orchestrated by Jeff Davis.
Idiotically, we act as if Kansas had a "civil war" about slaveyr, where many citizens were pro slavery.
Typical terms the teachers uses (idiotically) are "Pros slavery vs Anti slavery forces."
Not one word about any group of paid killers, much no mention about the three groups of paid men Davis sent to invade Kansas to spread slavery -- for God!
These are the facts our schools should teach.
✔️ The whole fucking reason anyone was killing anyone in Kansas was that Jeff Davis -- personally --concocted Kansas Act as a way to spread slavery into Kansas.
✔️95 % of Kansas citizens were against slavery.
Those invading and killing in Kansas were hired men--- see the words hired men? Hired-- paid. Then were NOT KANSAS CITIZENS.
Hired by a slave owners and s shite head lunatic named Jeff Davis.
WHY DAVIS NEEDED HIRED MEN...
Davis had to hire shit heads (Mostly from Texas) because 95% of Kansas Citizens did not want slavery.
If you do not know that, you will be forever stupid about slavery and US Civil War.
______________________
Davis personally went to Mexico with his father in law in 1847. Went specifically to kill enough Mexicans that US would double the lands Davis and other Lunatics could use for slavery.
Which is exactly what Lunatic Davis did next to Kansas. Not sorta, not kinda, not "in a way." He claimed, insanely, a duty to spread slavery for GOD.
Davis, the lunatic Trump of his time.
If claiming a duty to God and the bible was not crazy enough--- Lunatic Davis claimed repeatedly that the Dred Scott decision required -- see the word required?-- required the violent spread of slavery.
Constitutionally REQUIRED
According to Davis, he not only had a religious duty, a biblical duty, to violently spread slavery -- --- the Constitution required it. See the word "required" or not?
Davis and Roger Taney, of course (as Lincoln exposed) concocted Dred Scott decision precisely so that Davis could claim constitutional protection to violently spread slavery.
PAST AND FUTURE
Read the fucking decision --and understand how Davis used the Dred decision not only to justify future invasions and killing to spread slavery, but somehow that validated all past killing and invasions to spread slavery, as us the killings in Kansas, by Jeff Davis's paid killers.
So it's important to know that most of the killings and torture in Kansas happened before -- before -- Dred Scott. Davis wanted to cover those murders too, by the Dred Scott decision.
How the fuck any history teacher or text book does not bother to make that plan and in a candid way -- should shame every teacher and text book publishers.
To understand anything about US Civil War and the insane wars to spread slavery -- starting in 184-- we need to know what the fuck Jeff Davis did.
More specifically, Jeff Davis's ability and eagerness to get attention by pumping up insane lies and hate.
That is what these lunatics actually crave -- attention.
Much like Lunatic egomaniac Trump today, craves attention. Both men got attention from stupid shits and fools.
Necessarily both were- are shit head pathological liars, both egomaniacs. Both willing if not eager for the death of everyone in their way.
Not to keep slavery --to spread slavery for God ("the revealed will of God" as the lying bastards told crowds of stupid shits -- even by violence.
The stupid shits cheered. Must like stupid shits cheer the hate and lies now.
Second - Jeff Davis used (as he planned) the Dred Scott decision. Specific words in the Dred decision which he and crazy shit Roger Taney concocted --- required, see the word required -- that blacks are not human beings, and that the federal government (Davis was the fed government when Dred Scott was made public) must protect the spread of slavery.

WHERE DID YOU
GET YOUR INFORMATION?
___________________________
None of us today were alive at time of US Civil war. No one alive today knows anyone alive then.
Even if we had lunch with Jefferson Davis the day in May 1856, when most of his 2000 Texas paid men had arrived in Kansas (arrived to invade, torture and kill to spread slavery) we still would not know enough
If, a year later, at a slave auction on April 6 of 1857, two miles from Lee's slave farm, we watched a mother scream and beg as Robert E Lee sold her daughter ---as punishment --(which slave owner Lee did)we -- we would still not know enough.
But we sure as fuck would know more than your high school or college history teacher or text book told you.
My point is -- South leaders explained it best -- until they lost.
_____________________
There is much, much more you need to know. Why not let South scum crazy ass leaders explain it ---as they explained it then, at the time
-- until they lost.
_____________________
Ironically, seems no one taught history of slavery--and the US Civil War-- as fully as candidly, as honestly, as proudly, as clearly as South leaders themselves.
South shit head leaders--liars and slave owners all
Were not coy, then.
They were not vague, then.
They did not mumble, then.
They fucking bragged about it in detail, in context, officially, to cheering crowds and even to future generations, until they lost.
____________________
In their own publications -- they bragged. In their own speeches, they bragged.
In their own war ultimatums --- they bragged. Officially and in context, until they lost -- they bragged.
____________________
South leaders explained it best -- until they lost.
Lee, for example explained the torture ("painful discipline") of slaves, including small slaves, was ordained by God.
Lee himself explained that -- in writing.
LEE'S LETTER
Ironically thousands of fools, scholars and dip shits alike, cite Lee's letter to his wife as proving he was against slavery--- yet in that very letter defends the torture of slaves, and claims slavery is a spiritual liberty.
Would it be too much to ask for those fools and scholars to read the full letter?
(His letter becomes exponentially more barbaric when you learn from Lee's slave ledgers about his sadistic torture of small slaves.)
Jeff Davis and South leaders were not fucking around ---already, already by 1847, Jeff Davis was part of the invasions and killing sprees of Mexicans, until Mexico gave up half their land.
By 1854 Davis sent the first of three group to violently spread slavery -- never mind that 95% of Kansas Citizens were against slavery. The letter from Lee to his wife (mentioned above) was about these Davis men invading and killing Kansas citizens--- something fools never know.
____________________________
We teach millions of student each year--repeatedly - - those invasions and killing sprees and murders of Mexicans, done by shit heads like Jeff Davis, to this day as "MANIFEST DESTINY" was our justifications for those invasions.
Not one word in US text books that South leaders themselves said well in advance US wanted to kill Mexicans -- take half their land, and used to enrich slave owners. Student better know it was about "Manifest Destiny" or they
Yet fools, , then and now, sitting in a class room, would nod their heads, when they hear "Manifest Destiny" and think "sounds right to me."
MANIFEST
DESTINY
DESTINY
Or as Ayn Rand later said, Mexico was not doing anything good with that land anyway. So lets invade and kill them --- then use that lands to spread slavery.
Naturally, shit head Ayn Rand is a hero and supposed intellectual to fools.
Ayn Rand, like Jeff Davis, are even now the heroes of fools, and spoke of, taught, as highly intelligent and principled "conservatives."

MOST WHITES
EVEN IN THE NORTH
EVEN IN THE NORTH
HATED OR FEARED BLACK MEN--- and hated or feared Lincoln
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
FUCK NO YOU DON'T KNOW WHY
BUT YOU SHOULD
Nothing is more important that than WHY so many in the North hated or feared Lincoln.
You not only can't possibly understand the Lincoln debates without knowing Lincoln was hated and feared,
even more important, you won't have a clue who pumped up that hate to get political power,.
____________________________
Point is South leaders bragged bragged out the ass for years, bragged officially and to cheering crowds d
they were already invading and killing to spread slavery for God starting 1854.
Already at war, already killing,
already doing the work of GOD --
already using paid killers
already sent US troops to protect their paid men ,
SPECIFICALLY INVADED AND KILLED BY 1856 TO SPREAD SLAVERY
These were not a few loud mouth fools yapping in a bar.
They were the likes of Jefferson Davis, US Senator Atchison, with massive help in the North, much the same way FOX SPEWS and hate radio helped Jeff Davis and his like 1847 to 1860.
These men officially and at great length, repeatedly to cheering crowds, and to future generations, where not coy, they did not mumble. They were not vague
By 1856 -- notice the year 1856-- Jeff Davis sent 2000 more paid men. Davis had to sent more men to invade and kill for two reasons.
1) The first group Davis sent, in 1854, about 800 men, did not and could not terrorize kill enough Kansas citizens to force Kansas to be a slave state.
2) 95% of Kansas Citizens were against slavery. Davis and Senator Atchison predicted a few act of terror over a few "yankees" would be enough.
Kansas whites did not want slavery -- or blacks to come into Kansas... there were only 2 slaves in the entire vast Kansas Territory (much larger than Kansas the state now)
Surely the "cowardly yankees" unarmed, unorganized just entering Kansas, would not stand up to 800 organized men, many of them paid, who were armed to the teeth, drunk, using weapons from nearby federal armory. (thanks to Jeff Davis)
SPOILER ALERT: THEY WERE MISTAKEN
1856 PLAN B
July 1856
Jeff Davis not only sent paid men in 1854, he sent, as mention much larger group of paid Texas men, in July 1856. Even they were not enough.
So Davis famously sent US Army troops to protect his paid men. Don't forget that. Davis sent two groups of paid men already, and then sent US troops to protect his paid men.
Davis could send US troops to protect his paid men -- because he was Secretary of War under President Pierce, who approved everything Davis wanted.
Those troops arrived Topeka, Kansas, in July of 1856, about two months after the 2000 paid men arrived
How the hell did anyone educated in US Schools pass high school history not know that?
Shown here in Frank Leslies Illustrated newspaper. Davis earlier group in 1854 did not have US troops to protect them. This was "plan B" for Davis to stay far away from danger himself -- but send stupid shits to kill and die.
By the way, the crowd cheered when Senator Atchison told them they will be well paid. Link below.
Let's not pick on the Twins.
Not one of the above historians mentioned it either.
McPherson hinted -- alluded --other killings and torture-- an example is Lee's cruelty and torture of slave girls.
But only a hint. McPherson never has and will never speak candidly about Lee's tortures, or Jeff Davis paid killers, or South War Ultimatums. He "hints" or alludes to them like a coward -- like a punk.
Apparently Jim does not want to to piss off anyone in t he South, so he can sell more books, and be interviewed more. To each his own, right Jim?
Why should he be the only candid one?
_______________
PROVE LEE DID NOT OWN SLAVES.
Seriously?
For generations we taught millions of students Lee did not even have slaves --and was "adamantly" against slavery.
Even college level history teachers taught this nonsense. Lee was not merely against slavery -- this college professor did one better -- Lee was adamantly against slavery.
HOW ABOUT
READING THE ENTIRE LETTER?
READING THE ENTIRE LETTER?
The "proof" of Lee's fierce, brave and moral treatment of blackswas letter Lee wrote to his wife. That's it. Seems 99% of those who attempt to "prove" Lee was against slavery was that specific letter.
How much fucking trouble would have been if these "experts" would read the full letter? It was not that long. 678 words is our guess.
The full letter was an amazing biblical justification for slavery -- and for the torture of slaves.
Slavery, Lee wrote -- in that letter! -- was a "spiritual liberty." A spiritual liberty!
It is evil ---evil to -- even vote or speak or try to end slavery by any other means that prayer .
Only God--, that's the only being in the Universe -- who can end slavery . God. In another letter Lee claimed those against slavery are "trying to destroy the American Church,"
HELPFUL BACK GROUND -- by the time Lee wrote this particular letter, slave states made it a crime -- a crime! to preach or speak publicly against slavery. Preachers could be and were arrested, tried, and publicly whipped for speaking against slavery. Hence Lee was against speaking or preaching against slavery -- the only permissible objection to slavery was prayer.
So you would not even need to know Lee had slave tortured for trying to escape, or a dozen other vile sick things Lee personally did, though such facts can give us some clue what a sadist Lee was.
Some are taught that Lee's"servants " loved him so much, they refused to leave when he said they could go. "
Utter nonsense.
Never mind that Lee sent dogs and bounty hunters to capture escaped slaves. goofy thing. Whatever anyone wanted to claim, and then naturally fools would believe it.
Shelby Foote repeated the lie (that Lee was anti slavery) within first three minutes of Ken Burn's documentary film. At least 20 million US citizens have read Foote's nonsense or watched that documentary.
_______________________
AT WAR ALREADY?
By today, no one for three at least generations saw anyone paid to invade torture and later kill Kansas citizens to spread slavery starting in 1854.
No one for four generations saw Lee buy girls and sell girls at the slave auction two miles from his slave farm.
Yet Lee's slave ledgers recorded the prices and names of whoever he bought, or sold. Lee kept meticulous records.
And his slave ledgers still exists.
Yet in 1856 US Senator Atchison had not only hired two groups of paid men to invade and kill Kansas Citizens-- and bragged to these men they will be well paid and brag they were ALREADY -- ALREADY at war to spread slavery " South leaders not only hired men to invade torture and kill Kansas citizens ---- South leaders bragged about, until they lost.
Today, you would ask 500 high school history teachers who was David Rice Atchison before you found one who had a clue what he did, who he hired, and what he bragged about in 1856
Yet at the time, arguably, Atchison was the most important single person in the US.
Yet at the time, also, almost everyone alive who was paying attention the the violent spread of slavery -- starting in 1846-- could tell you who Atchison was.
Lincoln sure knew. Jeff Davis and Atchison depended on Atchison to pass the Kansas Act, then soon leave Washington to to meet the first of two groups of paid killers.... men paid to invade, terrorize, and later kill to spread slavery to the Pacific.
Not all high school teachers are stupid -- of course.
________________________________
Atchison speech, by the way, was specifically about his invasion of May of 1856. Atchison and Davis needed this second invasion because the first invasion Atchison and his men did not kill enough Kansas Citizens to force Kansas to be a slave state.
I stumbled on the name Senator David Rice Atchison from a high school history teacher. I never heard of him before.
The teacher who "tweeted" to his students a reminder to read Atchison 's famous 1856 speech
Here is the link the teacher included. LINK
Here is the link to the text version of Atchison's speech
South leaders justified killing to spread slavery by the bible.
Or as Bow's Review said "God has silenced all opposition to slavery by HIs Holy Word) The invasions and murders to spread slavery were a duty -- a duty, a duty to spread slavery.
________________________________
WHAT DID LINCOLN DO ABOUT IT
Jeff Davis had the full approval of President Franklin Pierce. Slave power had control of Congress, the White House, and US military, with Davis the Secretary of War
When Atchison told his paid men they would be well paid, and that they had the blessing of the "present administration" he was exactly right.
And Atchison said they were already at war -- correctly. They were at war "for the entire South"
They were at war -- invading and killing killing -- against the citizens of Kansas.
Kansas citizens were famously against -- remember this -- famously against slavery, and would vote against slavery by over 90% when the citizens pushed Davis's killers out.
Lincoln jumped back into politics 1854 because the actions of these men to spread slavery (Specifically Kansas Act)
Every one who graduated from high school should know this. Lincoln explained this over, and over, and over.
LINK TO ATCHISON SPEECH
NEVER MIND 95%
No one in three generations today saw who bought and sold human flesh --women and children at actions included -- then the buyers write down the names and prices of those women and children.
YET ROBERT E LEE DID EXACTLY THAT
Lee attended slave auctions not far from his slave farm.
By the way, we know Lee bought women and children from slave auctions, not far from h is slave farm because his slave ledgers still exist.
PAIN IS NECESSARY FOR THEIR INSTRUCTION
We even know the prices Lee paid -- and received-- to own or sell those women and children.
We also know Lee bought other humans -- not from slave auctions, but from bounty hunters who captured free blacks kidnapped illegally, and turned those free blacks into his slave. As Pryor carefully wrote "Technically, Lee may have broken the law."
We know many things now from his slave ledgers, hand written slave ledgers, that no one else knew for 100 years.
Pryor also found instructions to bounty hunters, -- and Lee's sexuall explicit letters to various women, on going letters, to various women, long after his marriage.
Pyor also found rape was common at Lee's slave farm, but claimed there was "no evidence" Lee joined in the rapes.
________________________
WAR ULTIMATUMS
No one for three generations were in the White House when Alexanders Stephens arrived carrying Jeff Davis's War Ultimatums to Lincoln.
Yet Stephens did arrive, though LIncoln would not see Stephens or accept Davis's War Ultimatums, Lincoln and Stephens exchanged letters where still exist.
LIncoln already knew Jeff Davsis's insane specific War Ultimatums. Davis for years was already sending paid killers to spread slavery to the Pacific, and already Davis justified those killers in detail.
No one in three generations now were at Lee's slave farm when he screamed at small slave woman. Yet Lee routinely had -- paid to have - escaped slaves tortured. Apparently Lee made sure he was present to watch. Lee paid -- according to his hand written slave ledgers, specific amounts to use local jails to house and feed those captured slaves, until Lee could get back to his slave farm and there scream at slaves as they were being tortured.
So we must depend on someone else. Historians, or text books publishers --witness, slave ledgers, something, someone or some system who investigated and gathered all information.
_______________________
So... who should we believe? Who studied verifiable sources, gathered the facts, and in our generation, or the previous three generations, organized presented and taught the sources to generations of students?
Who are the best teachers about slavery and the Civil War?
Look closer.
Look in Southern Newspapers from 1840s to 1860. In Southern speeches.
Look in their war ultimatums of 1856 and 1861. The War Ultimatum Jefferson Davis sent to Lincoln, carried to the White House personally by the Vice President of the Confederacy - Alexander Stephens
Look in Jeff Davis's communication to the General he sent to protect Jeff Davis paid men, in1856
Look in Lee's slave ledgers.
Look in their publications. South leaders – until they lost – explained it best.
UNTIL. THEY. LOST,
DIVINE BLESSING
South leaders were not coy.
They did not mumble. They were not ashamed. South leaders sent paid men to invade, terrorize and later killed to spread slavery ---for GOD.
God ordained -- -- ordered, required, white men enslave the black race.
Spread - spead- slavery as religious duty. These are the words of Jefferson Davis, according to his wife. .
Far from being oppressed or mistreated -- slaves were, according to Davis, "the most contented laborers on earth."
Slaves had "natural affection" for the master. Others in the South claimed Satan "was the first abolitionist."
By 1848, South leaders made it a crime -- a crime punishable by publish torture -- to preach against the God of slavery. You did not need to preach FOR slavery , but it was a crime to preach against slavery or against the "GOD OF SLAVERY"
THE MOST CONTENTED
LABORERS
ON EARTH
Slavery was a "Divine blessing" claimed Jeff Davis.
A blessing -- a gift -- to the black race and the white.
Far from being oppressed or mistreated -- slaves were, according to Davis, "the most contented laborers on earth."
Slaves had "natural affection" for the master. Others in the South claimed Satan "was the first abolitionist."
Bragged to cheering crowds. They bragged officially -- and to future generations.
They bragged in writing, they bragged it detail and in context.
Point is -- South leaders explained it best - in the most detail, in context. That is, until they lost, they explained it best.
UNTIL THEY LOST
Jeff Davis not only sent two groups of paid men to invade and kill Kansas citizens, Davis in 1856 sent US troops to protect his paid men.
Everyone inhaling and exhaling, who paid attention, saw all this unfold day by day.
________________
NARRATIVE OVER FACTS?
We can learn a lot from McPherson and Foner -- of course but it it impossible to learn a few basic facts from either.
Instead of candor, historians for reasons largely their own (alluded to later) they gingerly avoided being candid about the these above facts.
These basic facts they knew, of course.
But they did not present them candidly, nor show them as basic.
____________________
Ironically it is impossible -- not just difficult -- to learn in a candid way the following seven basics of the spread of slavery and Civil War.
As explained by Benjamin Franklin half the truth is often a great lie.
There is also a Chinese saying: to give part of the story is to give birth to a new lie
____________________
Those basic facts include, but are not taught by any of the above. Nor can yo u find them in US text books, at least until college level
✔️ That Jeff Davis created and used Dred Scott decision to justify murders and invasions to spread slavery
✔️ Jeff Davis's obsession to violently spread slavery and justify that violence since US invasion of Mexico
✔️Southern War Ultimatums
✔️ South leaders sent two groups of paid men to invade and kill Kansas citizens, the first in 1854, then much larger group in 1856, using Kansas Act as pretext
✔️That Jeff Davis sent US troops to protect those paid men.
✔️ That Davis knew 90% or more of Kansas citizens were against slavery when he sent paid killer to murder them.
_____________________
✔️Why did Jeff Davis need or want paid men? No mention by any of the above historians.
✔️How did Jeff Davis justify those and other paid men he sent to terrorize and kill Kansas Citizens?
Yet to know why Jeff Davis needed, wanted, and sent paid men is perhaps the single most important fact to know -- and teach.
The second most important thing to know --specifically how did Jeff Davis justify those paid men, and all they did?
Davis could not possibly have bee more clear, more empathic. Not one of the historians above mentione any of that.
The point is -- South leaders explained it best --
Until they lost .
.
At war for the "ENTIRE SOUTH " By 1856
_________________
NOTHING MORE BASIC
So why the fuck have most of our most famous historians mentioned it it in a candid way -- much less teach as basic.
SENDING US TROOPS
TO PROTECT HIS PAID MEN
TO PROTECT HIS PAID MEN
1856-- the year Jeff Davis sent US troops to protect his paid killers. Davis sent an earlier group of paid men in 1854.
Those paid 1854 men could not terrorize or kill enough Kansas Citizens -- Kansas citizens still resisted slavery.
Davis had to give up spreading slavery for GOD -- or send more paid men.
Davis not only sent 2000 men Davis in 1856, he sent US Troops to protect his paid men
1856 Jeff Davis (Secretary of War) sent US troops to protect his paid men. 1856
Here is how Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspapers revealed it.
US text books avoid being specific, using vague terms like "pro slavery" or "anti slavery" forces.
It is therefore impossible (not just difficult) for students to learn from such sources that the "pro slavery forces" were not only sent by Jeff Davis but 2000 of them were paid men, according to US Senator Atchison, boasting about it.
Even worse, if possible.
Even worse -- it is impossible (not just difficult) for students to learn from such sources that Davis sent US troops to protect his paid men.
✔️ No one alive -- if paying attention -- were neutral or unaware of Jeff Davis's paid men he sent in 1856.
✔️Davis already sent a smaller group in 1854 -- Davis sent the bigger group, paid men, because his small group did not terrorize and kill enough.
✔️No one alive -- if paying attention -- were unaware Jeff Davis sent US troops to Kansas specifically to protect these paid men.
It's important to know -- there was no big plot, conspiracy or desire to make students dumber about the basics. Making students (or anyone else)clueless about actual events is the inevitable consequence, regardless of the intent of the text book publishers or teachers when part of the story is omitted.
_________________
Do they matter?
Should we know, teach or or care about Jeff Davis's paid men of 1854 and 1856 ?
It was basic to the men Davis hired to invade torture and kill, of course.
By the time Lincoln and the US Army defeated Jeff Davis's paid killers and rebel troops, Davis hired men murdered over 3,000 men -- and dozens of women and children.
_______________________
Davis's paid men were basic to Davis -it was his idea he recruited them, he sent them, he had them paid.
He put it together.
HOW IMPORTANT WERE THE PAID MEN ?
It was basic to Lincoln -- Lincoln quickly got back in politics precisely because South leader Jeff Davis pushed the Kansas Act throught Congress.
Davis quickly sends the first group of men -- led by US Senator Atchison- men to invade Kansas, specifically to to terrorize and kill to spread slavery.
That was the plan -- clearly -- because the 800 men were already waiting for Atchison to arrive.
The plan was -- quick show of violence- kill a few if needed, so they claim Kansas as slave state. That did not work - Kansas citizen fought back.
Davis took almost two years do to "Plan B" plant B-- hire 2000 men to invade in 1856 -- and Davis sent US troops to protect those paid men.
Utter nonsense -- 95% of Kansas citizens were against slavery -- that's the entire reason Davis had to hire paid killers
Not to pick on Catton, because historians love to show they know all the details.
Read 10 or 20 of such books and you may notice much of your time is spent being told superfluous BS. But as students -- we assume such details are important.
It's sort of a pattern.
_________________
DIRECTIONS TO THINGS
NOT PEOPLE
Another pattern -- do not use names.
Directions do things -- the "South" did this and the "North" does that.
Apparently people don't do much -- directions but boxes do thinks . The Cotton gin was one of five causes the Civil War.
Jeff Davis using 2000 paid killers to invade torture and kill Kansas Citizens to spread slavery for God -- did that cause anything?
NOPE. That was not a factor. That was so trivia we are never told anyone was paid, and no one sent the killers, or we would have been told.
So surely no one with a name hired 2000 paid killers to invade torture and kill to spread slavery. It had to be a direction, it had to a box.
If Someone did hire and send paid killers, 2000, it did not matter who when why and were.
_________________________
DO NOT MENTION JEFF DAVIS
WAR ULTIMATUMS.
Another rule Catton followed, and set the tone for others. Do not even hint, for example the name of the US Senator who used 800 paid men to invade terrorize and torture Kansas citizens.
Do not hint that this man personally led his men on the first of several invasions -- all with the same goal -- to terrorize torture and kill Kansas citizens in order to spread slavery to the Pacific.
And he bragged about it to cheering crowds. Why mention such trivia!
But pour on the news about belt buckles and canteens.
_________________
Catton made these rules by example, example that McPherson and others largely followed.
CATTON RULE 2) Do not mention this.
_______________________
95% of Kansas citizens were against slavery.
Do not mention this. An overwhelming of Kansas Citizens were against slavery. Don't hint, don't mention that.
Do not mention this. An overwhelming of Kansas Citizens were against slavery. Don't hint, don't mention that.
Let generations stupidly assume Kansas citizens were killing Kansas citizens .
No. Davis hired paid killers -- paid men --to invade torture and kill. But it's more important to know about the belt buckles.
Yet nothing was more important than the paid killers -- --but do not make any of that clear.

Almost idiotically teachers repeat the distortion by those who passed Kansas Act -- Douglas and others claimed Kansas Act was about "states rights" and "Popular Sovereignty."
Weeks after Jeff Davis (with Stephen A Douglas and US Senator Atchison) took Kansas Act to President Pierce to be signed -- Atchison personally shows up in Kansas ithe 800 men (hired men) to invade terrorize and later kill Kansas Citizens who tried to vote against slavery.
Catton did not mention that either -
✔️ that these were paid men
✔️ not Kansas citizens
✔️ they were there as planned result of Kansas Act
✔️ that this group of paid men were just the first group of paid killers
✔️ That Jeff Davis as Secretary of War sent, funded, and approved all groups
NOt just vote -- Atchison's men attacked, terrorize and tortured -- later killed-- Kansas citizens who even published anti-slavery newspapers.
We do get some information -- vague BS about "pro slavery vs anti slavery " forces.
If that were not enough, Atchison men forced Kansas Citizens to take a pro slvery oath -- if they refused they were ordered to leave Kansas.
If they did not leave -- they were killed.
Sound like "states rights" or "popular sovereignty to you?
________________
BUCHANAN ELECTED:
JEFF DAVIS HAS NO POWER:
KANSAS CITIZENS CAN VOTE:
Franklin Pierce lost the election of 1856--largely because he allowed Jeff Davis to invade and kill Kansas Citizens, and because allowed Pierce allowed Davis to use US soldiers to protect his paid killers.
So without Davis's paid killers in Kansas , and without US troops to protect Davis's paid killers, Kansas Citizens can vote.
Even after Kansas citizens voted overwhelming against slaveryJeff Davis still demanded -as a war ultimatum no less-that slavery must spread into Kansas.
________________
Davis's insane logic?
You should know this -- Davis justification to violently spread slavery was the Dred Scott decision.
________________
CATTON RULE 2)
DO NOT MENTION JEFF DAVIS AND STEPHEN A DOUGLAS PUSHED THE "VILE FRAUD" OF KANSAS ACT, THEN, AS PLANNED
CATTON RULE 3) Give readers no hint, much less report candidly, that Jeff Davis Stephen A Douglas and Senator David Rice Atchison took Kansas Act for President Pierce to sign.
Nor give any hint that ater President PIerce signed the Davis/Atchison/and Douglas Kansas Act -- Davis sent his first group of men to invade Kansas, to terrorize and later kill Kansas Citizens for speaking against slavery.
Those men were already waiting near Kansas, for Senator Atchison to lead them on the first invasions and killing sprees of Kansas Citizens. That was the entire purpose of Kansas Act --
1854
CATTON RULE 4)
Give no hint, much less report candidly that Jeff Davis 1856 sent 2000 more paid men to kill Kansas Citizens, when his first group of men did not kill enough Kansas citizens. 1856
CATTON RULE 5)
Give no hint that 95% of Kansas Citizens were against slavery.
Kansas citizens confirmed they were overwhelmingly against when 95% voted against slavery
The point is
✔️Kansas (white male) citizens in 1854 were overwhelmingly against slavery -- See if you can find any clear mention of that by McPHerson, Foner, Foote, Ken Burns, Kearns --- or in any widely use US Text book.
✔️ Jeff Davis Stephen A Douglas, and Senator David Rice Atchison knew Kansas citizens overwhelmingly against slavery -- that is why then sent men to terrorize -- later torture and kill-- to make Kansas a slave state..
It was Stephen A Douglas who famously said that in 1854, though Douglas used the term "19 of 20"
_______________________
NEVER MENTION JEFF DAVIS'S WAR ULTIMATUMS OR PAID KILLERS
_______________________
Turns out Catton was mistaken about some of the canteen details, but he tried hard, right? He set the scene -- we could almost smell the coffee he wrote about.
Admittedly the type of canteen is more important.
Still if Bruce Catton could have found place to mention numerous invasions, paid killers, US troops sent to protect the paid killers, sent by Jeff Davis, and the thousands of murders that happened as a result....
Maybe McPherson might have thought such things were almost as important as the belts, canteens, and kinds of coffee, and find space somewhere for them. Who knows? McPherson and others might have even mentioned such trivial details!
___________
Was that Catton's fault?
No.
Bruce did not promise to harm them if they mentioned things candidly like 2000 paid killers Davis sent to invade torture and kill by 1856.
McPherson never mentioned those 2000 paid killers, much less explain who sent them, who paid them, and why anyone sent them.
Sure as hell was important to those killed -- those tortured and those who fled Kansas to remain alive.
Sure as hell was important to Lincoln who got back in politics the same weeks Jeff Davis's first group of paid killers arrived in Kansas
Sure as hell was important to the millions of slave, including slave women whipped and tortured for trying to escape the madness of being raped, their children sold as punishment.
Sure as hell was important to President Franklin Pierce, who backed Jeff Davis groups of paid killers, and backed Jeff Davis sending US troops to protect his paid killers.
Sure as hell was important to Roger Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who swallowed Jeff Davis's insane claims that blacks are not human beings, and inserted that claim and other claims into Dred Scott decision.
But it was not quite important enough for McPherson -- nore hundreds of others, nor millions of text books, to actually teach candidly. Look as you might - - McPherson avoided names of men who sent paid killers, explanation of their justifications to spread slavery.
FORGETTING ANYONE?
Call me crazy, call me stupid, call me a fool -- there are the men I now trust more: men who where there.
Not only there-- but these men were in control.
South leaders -- with names you know. Jefferson Davis, Alexanders Stephens, Robert Tombs, US Senator David Rice Atchison.
Maybe most important -- Stephen A Douglas. (Douglas was a Davis and Slave Power ally at this time, as you will see and should already know)
Without Douglas helping Jeff Davis create and sell the two part "Machinery to Spread Slavery" as Lincoln correctly called Kansas Act and Dred Scott decision, it's possible that slavery ends peacefully, as Founding Father intended to happen.
Jeff Davis and his ilk made it a crime -- a crime punishable by public torture - to speak publically or preach publically against slavery. Men were, as a result, arrested tried and tortured in public for such actions, and could be tortured in public for just owning the "wrong " book.
The fact our schools and historians fail to teach this basic fact has made more people dumber about slavery and Civil War than anything else,.
Of all the villains of this era -- Stephen A Douglas is the most vile.
_______________________________
UNTIL THEY LOST
If you know nothing and care nothing about this -- the main point here -- these shit heads bragged bout this -- until they lost.
________________________
AFTER THEY LOST
being human beings
After they lost -- naturally -- South leaders and the suckers defending them later came up with all manner of bullshit and nonsense.
Worse, some of that nonsense made up by fools and pathological liars ended up in US Text books.
Perhaps worse that than, historians like Foner, McPherson, Catton, do not bother to challenge the nonsense directly.
_______________________
I TRIED DAY AND NIGHT
FOR 12 YEARS
FOR 12 YEARS
Typical of that nonsense is Jeff Davis often repeated lie.
The big lie is this one -- that he spent 12 years trying to avoid violence -- when the record shows, including his own boasting and his own justifications, his controlling role for in vasions and murders.
DAVIS ENJOY KILLING MEXICANS
Davis married Zachary Taylor's daughter, Taylor put Davis under him, always safe. From that time on, Davis displayed almost an obsession to spread slavery.
Stealing half of Mexico's land after US troops, by order of Davis's father in law -- via James Polk, was apparently the joy of his life.
Davis was still eager to spread slavery in US-- to spread slavery to the Pacific, and to created a slave empire -- that would include killing citizens of Latin American to make much of Latin America part of his empire of slavery
Spreading slavery was a "duty to God." Slavery was a "Divine Blessing."
The only reason you don't know that - you are not taught candidly what Jeff Davis did -- who he had murdered, who he had killed, and why he had them killed.
Specifically, Davis claimed slavery was Godly. Even more -- Davis claimed a "Constitutional Requirement" to spread slavery by the Dred Scott decision.
________________________
These knowledgeable men explained why they sent thousands of killers to invade, torture and kill to spread slavery.
Or they justified the invasions and killings.
These men explained - bragged in detail and at length -- who they would kill and why they killed them (meanings -- why their paid men killed them.)
AGAINST STATES RIGHTS
Jeff Davis explained his justifications for invading and killing to spread slavery...even against states rights.
Nothing is more important at that time that Jeff Davis, starting in 1854, sending two groups of paid men to violently spread slavery, other than his spoken and written justifications for those invasions and murders -- those are more important.
Yet none of the historians above thought it was important enough to mention the term paid killers or paid men. None mentioned Jeff Davis as a person that sent anyone anywhere, Likewise the historians above did not mention, much less make clear, Jeff Davis's justifications to hire and send them to kill to spread slavery
Davis was exceedingly aware, acutely aware, that 90% or more of Kansas citizens were against slavery. He explained his justifications (religious and constitutional) to invade and kill Kansas citizens.
US Senator Atchison could get his paid men kill US citizens. He famously -- by 1856 -- already led two groups of men to invade and kill Kansas citizens
WHY NOT TRUST SOUTH LEADERS?
✔️their own boasting
✔️their own proclamations
✔️ their own books
✔️their own War Ultimatums
✔️their own written communications
✔️their justifications for invasions of Kansas citizens
✔️their justifications to send two groups of paid killers to invade Kansas, first 1854, then 1856
✔️their justifications for torture of Kansas citizens
✔️their justification to send US troops to protect their paid men.
By the way -- Lincoln spoke of all of this -- yet idiotically we fail to teach that Lincoln was not only right -- we fail to teach that South leaders bragged about it as loudly, as proudly, and as clearly as anyone can brag about anything -- until they lost.
_______________________________
TOLD BY SELF CONFIDENT MEN
It is not a plot -- there is no plot to glorify men who tortured women, small women, too, as Robert E Lee did.
No plot to pretend Jefferson Davis did not hire thousands of paid men to invade and kill to spread slavery for God by 1856.
No plot to hide the fact Davis sent US troops to Kansas to protect the paid killers he already sent for two years.
That is what folks were told.
They were told and taught Davis's own favorite lie -- that he labored day and night for 12 years to avoid war, but the North was insane.
________________________
_______________________________
The point is -- South leaders explained it all, in detail, in context, loudly proudly at length, to cheering crowds (much like Lunatic Trump gets crowds of stupid shits to cheer.).
_______________________________
UNTIL -- THEY -- LOST
South leaders themselves -- such Jefferson Davis.
US Senator David Atchison
Roger Taney
Alexander Stephens
Stonewall Jackson
Robert Toombs
Robert E Lee
Were these men stupid, frivolous, joking, lying?
Where they vague, coy, or apologetic?
No. Quite the opposite.
_____________________
TWO QUESTION TEST YOUR TEACHER ?
Q Was anyone or any group in North America already killing to spread slavery to the Pacific by 1847?
A Yes, thousands of men -- already - were killing Mexicans citizens. WPresident Polk and "slave power" folks would steal most of Mexican land, -- land to use to spread slavery.
That was their plan -- they called it "Manifest Destiny" a term taught to this day by stupid shit teachers and US text books.
Manifest Destiny means "Due, really believe us, in many ways God wanted us to invade and kill Mexicans so what we could be rich and famous, and steal half millions quare acres to spread slavery ."
US HONOR AT STAKE
Polk's lie? Mexican Army attacked US citizens .
Polk's speech? American "honor" was at stake. We must avenge our honor.
Stupid shits ate it up. We fail to teach that Polk demanded killing Mexicans for our honor --that's such an obviously lie even high school teachers knoew better.
But we do teach the more insane idiotic and evil "Manifest Destiny. "
TO SAVE THE WORLD
FOR DEMOCRACY
FOR DEMOCRACY
Reminds me of US troops killing 3 million Vietnamese after US newspapers claimed we were "in Vietnam," to "Save the World for Democracy."
No mention of our our killing sprees inflicted on people who did nothing to threatened democracy -- but pissed off US because they resisted our killing sprees
We actually killed 3 million innocent people -- any were women and children we murdered by burning them to death with napalm.
Do you see any pattern here -- a fool, a liar, an egomaniac gets in power,
sends other fools to kill and be killed,
use some Orwellian double speak or outright lie to fool the stupid.
Soon teachers and text books join in the lies --- mostly because they are stupid.
______________
When US Grant wrote, in his amazing Memoirs, that the Civil War was payback for US killing in Mexico, he was referring to the invasions and murder Mexican citizens by US troops.
Grant was part of those killing sprees.
Grant, however would never do what almost every US history teacher does --and almost every historian does, and what millions of students are required to know for tests: claim US war against Mexico "Manifest Destiny."
_________________________
PRO TIP Before anything happens, like invasions, paid killers, men cheering to kill others, someone used words.
There is no exception to this rule.
Someone wanted to pump up the stupid and gullible to invade and kill - - and those "someones" never do any invading or killing. They stay safe.
_________________________
Before anyone could send US troops to protect Jeff Davis and Atchison's men, someone had to convince President Pierce to approve sending those men to Kansas.
That man was Jeff Davis himself.
Davis the entire time stayed in Washington as Secretary of Wa. Davis could convince the foolish Pierce of apparently any lie, and get Pierce to approve any level of force to spread slavery.
NOT JUST CHEER -- CHEERS NESSECARLIY CAME FIRST
Theses men, necessarily, could get crowds to cheer killing to spread slavery to the Pacific. Those who could not get , or would not get, crowds to cheer the violent spread of slavery did, could not be political leaders.
Not just cheer -- but after cheering obey -- obey the hate monger who paid them. Paid them specifically to invade, terrorize and eventually kill US citizens.
Much like Trump first his stupid shits and fools to hate and fear -- South leaders necessarily first got the crowds to hat and fear.
_____________________
YOU KNOW THEIR NAMES.
Our history text books, at least until college fail to candidly tell us what these specific men did, despite the fact these men were, until they lost -- blunt, candid, and proud of what they did.
Until they lost -- these South leaders bragge what they did - and bragged why they sent paid men and sent US Army troops, to do what those paid men and Army troops did.
WHO CREATED THE MACHINERY
AND PUMPED THE HATE?
AND PUMPED THE HATE?
Men whose names you know (or you would not be reading this ) are the same men Lincoln named -- specifically named --as creating the vile and violent "machinery" to spread slavery (by violence) to all of the US "North South East and West."
groups of paid killers to invade torture and kill to spread slavery -- long before Lincoln even ran for Senate.
Did these South leaders not know what they did and why?
Were they stupid? Were they joking?
_____________________
These-- who not only explained officially who they killed, and why they killed those men, they bragged -- bragged about who they killed and why.
Turns out South leaders had a lot to say. Men like Jefferson Davis, Alexander Stephens, US Senator David Ric Atchison, Robert Toombs, Roger Taney -- and the man who flipped flopped as needed for the moment Stephen A Douglas.
UNTIL THE LOST South leaders at the time -- in their own speeches, in their own war ultimatums, in their own publications and books, taught and bragged of things you probably never heard of.
You sure as hell did not learn in any US text book (until college level) that Sought leaders were -- notice the word already -- concoted a war and invasions of Mexico.
A war that was more like a three year killing spree.
You will not find a single US text book, until college, which explains the insanity of using US killing sprees and murder of Mexicans as the justification for further murders and invasion of US land.
Jeff Davis personally crafted the insane justification to invade and kill US citizens because Southern men "shed blood" while killing Mexicans. That justification, that insane justification, is taught to millions of students as a legitmate excuse to kill American citizens, as you will see, to spread salvery not just to the Pacific Ocean, but to spread salvery to much of Latin American.
There was one -- only one -- man who started this insanity, specifically the insanity of using one killing spree, as justification to kill more. His slogans, Davis's slogans and words, have been taught essentially as legitimate excuse that not only made killing probably 200,000 Mexicans in order to steal their land, but justify the invasion tortures and murder of American citizens.
He name was Jefferson Davis.

ALREADY AT WAR
AT WAR TO SPREAD
TO SPREAD SLAVERY
TO THE PACIF
Until they lost -- South leaders not only sent paid men to invade torture and kill to spread slavery -- by 1856--- but they bragged about it.
During this time they did not mumble.
They were not coy. According Jeff Davis's "General of Law And Order," David Rice Atchison" the South was already at war --at war to spread slavery to the Pacific,.
Who was the South at war against ?
Look at who they invaded tortured and killed -- they were at war against the lawful citizens of Kansas.
Officially at war, per Atchison, and at war in fact, meaning Atchison and Davis sent paid men to invade Kansas and kill Kansas citizens.
It's important to know they bagged about and justified being at war -- before Lincoln even ran for Senate.
