And you thought negative campaigning was a recent invention! No wonder Grant was known to have a drink every now and then.

Southern ping. It's a little known fact that a leading abolitionist tore the yankee pro-war arguments to shreds back in 1870. See for yourself above!

No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, Chapter XIX I see that this is Chapter 19 of a book claiming that the Constitution of the United States is invalid. I think it is fair to label the book and everything in it "Tin Foil"
If the Constitution of The United States is invalid then "Do What Though Will is the whole of the law"

Good post. This is good reading for those of us trained by yankee revisionists who would not allow a quote such as this into a discussion in class. This one gets bookmarked.

ROTFLMAO. For as often as people get slandered as Commies or Marxists by neo-confederates for 'sin' of pointing out the lies and gross distortions in you Lost Cause myths, I find it hilarious that you print a tract by a radical left-wing anarchist like Spooner as a justification for your side of the argument.

Hey look what you caused ;^)
Today, 8-19-02, Lew Rockwell is featuring that chapter of the Lysander Spooner book that you post here. Thanks again for a great piece of forensic history work that surely pisses off the statist pigs who have infiltrated FR.
The entire book is online here.

If their object had really been to abolish slavery, or maintain liberty or justice generally, they had only to say: All, whether white or black, who want the protection of this government, shall have it; and all who do not want it, will be left in peace, so long as they leave us in peace. Had they said this, slavery would necessarily have been abolished at once; the war would have been savedDoes he mean that the federal government could have abolished chattel slavery in 1861 and that would somehow have prevented the War, which was founght essentially because southerners saw Lincoln's election as a harbinger of a distant threat to the institution? Huh?
The Union in 1861 was given only three choices by the South. Fight, allow the Union to dissolve, or institute massive federal interference with the individual and states' rights of northerners to protect the institution of slavery.
