The tyranny of the abolitionist idiots were in charge in DC, just like the homosexualists are today.
I think the quotes below speak for themselves:
In 1860, Congressman Laurence M. Keitt of South Carolina said, “The anti-slavery party contend that slavery is wrong in itself, and the Government is a consolidated national democracy. We of the South contend that slavery is right, and that this is a confederate Republic of sovereign States.”[22]-WIKI
“To the Governor of South Carolina:—The undersigned citizens of Madison county. Virginia, believing that South Carolina will be the first to raise the standard for States-Rights and Southern liberty, against the encroachments of Northern fanaticism and Federal tyranny, do hereby tender their services to fight under her flag whenever she shall signify her wish to receive them, unless Virginia shall first require their aid.
‘”Nov. 8th, 1860.”’
The Union is gone already, virtually. [Applause] If five or six States seceded, as there was every reason to believe they would, the Union was not only gone, but its repair was perfectly hopeless. [Applause.] The question had been changed. The question in Virginia would not be Union or disunion, but it would be, will you go to the North, your enemies, or will you go to the South, your friends! My friends, I venture to affirm that Virginia will not hesitate then. I would pledge my life for it, although. I have already pledged what is perhaps almost as dear as life. And if Virginia remains in the Union, under the domination of this infamous, low, vulgar tyranny of Black Republicanism, and there is one other State in the Union that has bravely thrown off the yoke, I will seek my domicil in that State and abandon Virginia forever. [Loud applause] If Virginia will not act as South Carolina, I have no longer a home, and I am a banished man. [Applause.] I hope, gentlemen, that my friends will excuse me from talking any longer. But, I will say, there is not one of you, young and ardent as most of you are, that has his cause more at heart than I have, or would make greater sacrifices to secure its success. [Loud and long continued applause]-Richmond Post Dispatch
Jefferson Davis stated that a “disparaging discrimination” and a fight for “liberty” against “the tyranny of an unbridled majority” gave the Confederate states a right to secede.[21] -Wiki
Interesting.
