I might suggest “The Cornerstone Speech” by The Vice President of the Confederacy, Alexander Stephens. In it he pretty much states that the “cornerstone” of the Confederacy is the inferiority of the black. That “platform” of the Confederation of Slave Power gained full traction following the Dred Scott decision made by the Supreme Court in the country’s first instance of judicial tyranny.

There is plenty of judicial tyranny going on today, as well as demagoguery. In that regard, our country has regressed. And when a president or vice president makes a speech, he speaks only for himself and his biggest donors. Obama doesn’t speak for a majority of Americans today and Davis and Stephens didn’t speak for a majority of southerners then. Most southerners of the day probably didn’t even know who their VP was, just as most don’t know who the VP is today, even with mass media. And if they ever heard him give a speech, they would probably instinctively think he was a lying snake oil salesman.

Okay, thanks!
