First, my reversions were entirely appropriate and I attempted to politely discuss them with you on the discussion forum talk:Origins_of_the_American_Civil_War. You refused.

Second, contrary to your claim, I did provide specific source references in the text including Taylor's books and links to other wikipedia articles with documentation.

Third, you have made absolutely no effort to reconcile your use of blatant POV terminology throughout the article and also refused to discuss it when approached.

Fourth, you engaged in personal attacks on me in the "edit summary" box then cleansed your history when I drew attention to it.

Fifth, whether I am a new user or not is of no concern to you.

BTW, you don't strike me as a new user. Out of curiosity, are you? 172 08:59, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
