Why are extreme measures justified for the Davis regime but an unforgivable crime for the Lincoln administration?

Quoth the Non-Sequitur: "Squack! Tu quoque!"

[4CJ]

So two Virginians might have held it to be treason. Any 1st person accounts?

[4CJ]

But rather than hire Canadians, who are unionized, employers are making contracts with labor "contractor" firms, who then do the necessary dirty work by saying, "well, we tried to find workers at the below-market wage we want to pay, so there's nothing to do but petition the provincial government for relief, in the form of permission to import 1,500 foreign workers whom we can pay those yummy low wages we like."

Post-war was no different, with the yankees doing the same to attract "Coolies" to work on the railroad, instead of hiring millions of free blacks. I wonder why?

[Non-Sequitur]

I hope he foresaw a UNC victory tomorrow nite....

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Blah, blah, blah.

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Blah, blah, blah.

Hey everybody! Our resident parrot has learned two new words!

You are absolutely right. Endless taxation, mindless (liberal, tree-hugging) regulation, leftist ex-hippie judges who let criminals romp and gays wed,real estate prices that will make your eyes pop out, and eight months a year of crappy weather. I am pulling the ripcord on this benighted state. I consider my future move to the South to be a favor I am doing to my yet-unborn grandchildren. Could be FL, NC, GA, SC or TX. We have not made up our minds exactly where yet...so suggestions are welcome! I retired early, turn 45 next month, and will no longer live in the people's republic. I live about three miles from Ted the Lifeguard, my Senator. He depresses property values. As soon as my daughter graduates, we're gone!

[MrDem]

and you support (the a.n.s.w.e.r.) cretins' "KILL THE JEWS" signs????

No, of course not!

damnyankees are NOTORIOUS for being ANTI-Semites

Really? That's not my experience. Half of New York (Yankees) IS Jewish. LOL!

Leave damnyankeeland? Do you mean move to the South?

Why are extreme measures justified for the Davis regime but an unforgivable crime for the Lincoln administration?

Good question.

[fortheDeclaration]

The actions destroyed the Federalist party nationally.

I think that says enough of what most people thought of New England's attempts to secede.

[fortheDeclaration]

Why are extreme measures justified for the Davis regime but an unforgivable crime for the Lincoln administration? Because Lincoln was in a position that he advertised as taking care that the laws be executed? Because he was the one who insisted that federal writ must continue to run inviolate in States that had left the Union? Because the Confederates had the larger task, and the broader radius of action, of creating a new Confederacy and Government de novo under conditions of greater exigency that admitted of no delay, but allowed a broader toleration for compromises of ee.g. juridical and fiscal scruple?

Oh, Lincoln had to sit by while the South had 4 months to take over forts and treasuries.

He had to deal with treason in his own Army, and in fact, he had no army to speak of.

And Lincoln is the one who is the evil tyrant, while Davis gets a free pass?

Both men faced extreme conditions and had to use extreme methods.

If you are going to damn one you have to damn the other.

[fortheDeclaration]

Before you scoff, show how the South would have been worse off under this arrangement.

They would not have been Americans, that is how they would have been worse off.

But, one group would have been better off, the black, who was essentially reenslaved by the ex-confederates who returned home defeated and bitter and took it out on the freed slaves.

[fortheDeclaration]

Boy, to hear you guys talk, slavery didn't even exist in the South!

Maybe it was all a Yankee myth put forth to justify conquering the South?

The deep South fought for slavery expansion.

The border states that remained loyal to the Union would not even give up their slaves for compensation.

The South had developed a philosophy (supported by certain Christian churches) that slavery was a right that had to be defended like a property right.

If slavery was so unimportant to the 'noble freedom loving Southerners' why then was it written into their Constitution as a explicit right?

The U.S. constitution never directly mentions slavery because the Founders expected it to eventually to end.

The Confederacy was intent on making sure that never happened.

[fortheDeclaration]

Leave damnyankeeland? Do you mean move to the South?

I did and its great!

Married a beautiful Southern girl.

I highly recomend it.

It is after all, part of the United States.

Brilliant retort!

I guess that will have to do as a substitute for a real answer.

[fortheDeclaration]

Everyone should read the "Daniel Webster vs Robert Hayne" debate. It details the real issues very well.

Amen!

[fortheDeclaration]

Enough already. We are ONE NATION. I, for one, like it that way. I will always love Texas best, but it does not mean that I don't love the other 49 states.

Amen!

Hey, N-S, Stand gave you a compliment!
