Oh, well since we are doing that:
"If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission and offer my sword to the other side."
And here's another:
"After due consideration the administration determined upon the arrest of the Chief Justice. A warrant or order was issued for his arrest. Then arose the question of service. Who should make the arrest and where should the imprisonment be? This was done by the President with instructions to use his own discretion about making the arrest unless he should receive further orders from him."
Right back atcha.
You haven’t even shown that Southern interests were forced to use Northern shipping. The acts and law you posted show no such thing.
Ah but unlike Stephens' Cornerstone Speech there is a evidence that Grant never said that. Here's a discussion from a forum that I think you tried once.
"After due consideration the administration determined upon the arrest of the Chief Justice. A warrant or order was issued for his arrest. Then arose the question of service. Who should make the arrest and where should the imprisonment be? This was done by the President with instructions to use his own discretion about making the arrest unless he should receive further orders from him."
Likewise the fact that none of the Rogery Taney biographers found the claim of a Taney arrest warrant supported by enough evidence to justify including it in any of their biographies of the Chief Justice is evidence that it never happened. Unlike the Stephens' speech.
