“They were not calling for any such thing until it became apparent that states would refuse to enforce Article IV, Section 2.”
So you’re agreeing with me. When it suited the South, fedgov was great. When it didn’t it was a bunch of no good, Yankee scalawags out to tarnish the honor of the South and ruin the virtue of the white race!
Hey, come on! Just because the slavocracy couldn’t properly tend their nig....er...chattel property!
You are deliberately swapping premises here. When the South wanted the Federal Government to accept it's responsibility, it expected it to do so. This is like expecting a police man to confront criminals. It's his job, isn't it? Well it was the Fed Gov's job in those days.
(Like securing the border is the Fed Gov's job nowadays.)
