Yep

Tanker over at Ace of Spades gets it right...

How about a little perspective folks?

In 1860, the US population was a little over 10% of what it is today.

How many American troops died in the Civil War?

Between 600,000 and 700,000.

Can you imagine CBS or the NYT supporting a war to free slaves with deaths totalling between 6 and 7 million? Me neither.

Exactly
