In other words, my comment from post 590 was spot on: "your liberal indoctrination is so complete that you're terrified to entertain information opposing your deeply held prejudices."
BTW, do you adhere to that model across the board? In other words, when you studied geometry, did you shun modern mathematicians and go straight to the works of Euclid?
And when I read the Declaration of Secession by the states of South Carolina, Texas, Georgia and Mississippi, I can see exactly why they opted for such action.
Then you understand that the refusal of the northern states to fulfill their constitutional obligations, the loss of equal status among the states and nullification of the Acts of Congress by the northern states was the cause. Good for you! Perhaps we're making progress!
These states told us that the reason for leaving the Union was because they desired to keep human beings in slavery.
Obviously your stellar education from that liberal college in Austin didn't impress reading comprehension in their curriculums. If it had you would agree that the reason for secession in all cases was constitutional subversion and violation by the northern states.
Interestingly, on this thread, I have not seen a post where the supporters of the Confederacy have disavowed these Declarations of Succession.
Why should we? Us unreconstructed Rebs all understand that the reason for secession was States Rights which are well documented in the various Declarations of Secession.
“Why should we? Us unreconstructed Rebs all understand that the reason for secession was States Rights which are well documented in the various Declarations of Secession.”
If it is well documented that State’s Rights was the reason for secession, why is it that in the Declarations of Secessions of Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas, these Confederate States elected to mention Slavery so many times?:
In fact, the words “Slave,” “Slavery” and “Slaveholding” are used 82 times!
And for some reason, the term “State’s Rights” and 10th Amendment are used a grand total of ZERO TIMES!
So, if these Declarations of Secession were all about State’s Rights as you maintain, why is it that they mention “Slavery” 82 times and do not mention “State’s Rights” at all?
They did not even bother to mention the 10th Amendment, but did state loud and clear that they wanted to continue to hold human beings in captivity and use them as slaves.
