I assume you've read my other post upstream and have an answer to your
question.  I'll just expand on my original comment and write that if you
view the Confederacy as a distillate of unadulterated Evil it's not
surprising if you then interpret any debate over the cause of the Civil
War as an attempt to "slam Lincoln and defend the Confederacy", as the
original poster wrote.
