Folks were going to have to be shot to end it. In addition, Frederick Douglass told Lincoln directly that slavery was never going to be completely done away with, that diplomacy was no longer going to do anything, only violence would.If the Confederacy was allowed to go, slavery would have been abolished in the United States without mass death and destruction even if Delaware had tried to put up a fight of some kind.

To quote my edit that you would have unfortunately missed: neither a safety net nor a parasitic welfare state is socialism.

I thought this was made clear when I pointed out that the money increase over time has not reached teachers, but I'm glad I could clear that up.You did not indicate what you desired, yes, I assumed you wanted greater resources provided to the state. I apologize if this is not what you want.
