Well your opinion of what the Founders intended goes against that of Stephens.

Since he was actually there and in the Confederacy, not inventing lies to defend slavery.

Stephens noted that the Founders had believed all men were equal despite slavery.

It was with the advent of evolution (Stephens calls it 'science') that a new view of the races had emerged, one in which the Negro was considered to be naturally inferior to the white.

That was the addition to the CSA Constitition that made it superior to the US one.

That was Stephens'views and they were met with applause.

Well your opinion of what the Founders intended goes against that of Stephens.

Your opinion that I have an opinion is null and void.

I told you what Madison wrote. It wasn't my "opinion" about what Madison wrote.

And everyone on God's green earth knows what Jefferson thought about slavery -- it's been publicized to the four winds. It isn't my "opinion".

You're just studying to be a jerk like your amigo there.
