Civil War tl;dr
This is one of the best sentences I’ve ever read:

“Sorry, but the Civil War really wasn't complicated. Southern human traffickers were so Not Mad Online that a mildly anti-human-trafficking candidate was elected president that they attempted to ragequit the United States by force of arms so that they could continue to make lots of money by owning and trafficking in human beings.”

My history professor partner and I enjoyed that immensely. Thank you. Thanksforhelping (talk) 07:49, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Killing of Ahmaud Arbery: Reactions - Civil rights groups, commentators, and the public: “This seems to be puffery and self-promotion”
Hello I hope this finds you well. You reverted my entry in the Killing of Ahmaud Arbery section of "Reactions" - including those of "commentators and the public" - regarding the statements by Steven Sadow, as you wrote, "This seems to be puffery and self-promotion." I am restoring the entry and please note the following. (1) The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ("The AJC") thought enough of his opinions to specifically publish them. (2) I have never met or spoken with Mr. Sadow, I was a civil practice attorney and I do not know Mr. Sadow at all, in any manner, other than by reputation as being a nationally recognized criminal defense attorney and this only after researching his background. (3) I added citations regarding Sadow's reputation to support the relevence of his opinions. (4) As you may believe the citations regarding Sadow are "puffery", I have paired them down, and please feel free to let me know if you believe further citation editing is necessary. (5) I entered Sadow's opinions after reading The AJC article as (a) unique considering those of most everyone else (b) those of an apparently respected commentator. Thank you for considering the fact that the entry was not made as "puffery" and certainly not as "self-promotion" as Sadow is not me and I know him only after researching his reputation.

P.S. You may note in this afternoon's Arbery edit history that Orangemike, an administrator, has reviewed my entry and, other than removing blockquote indents as "fluffy", has left my entry edit as is. Regards, Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Your claim that "SuperLawyers.com" is a reliable source is quite simply not on; you're welcome to propose that the material be added on the talk page, and should be there be a talk page consensus for the material, then it can be added.
