Slavery was a great immorality and remains so today: it denies an individual of the product of his work for the enrichment of another. (Remind you of anything else?)

Still, there are those who would tell you that the Civil War was about state’s rights. And THAT is a war that we lost.

It would have been lost in any event. The government that davis cobbled together was a poor imitation of the one he tried to abandon.
