To hear you guys tell the story, it was the South that was against slavery! 28 Feb 1861 - President Jefferson Davis VETOED a bill that attempted to allow importation of slaves.

Wow!

Think that protecting the economic value of the slaves they already had anything to do with that?

Hmmmm, if Davis ALLOWED more slaves to be imported, you'd simply claim he was an evil slaver. Yet he attempts to prevent the slavery of more individuals, yet you condemn his action. incoln supported PERMANENT slavery, and limiting it, then to you it was good, but Davis LIMITING slavery bad.

Personally, I think it was the action of a President that chose to abide by the Constitution.
