Considering that the normal position of the racist, slave-owning, ignorant and backward South was face down in the mud, Lincoln was pretty generous to want to lift the South up to her knees.
So your point of view is that California can change the rules to collect taxes in Texas when ever they want.
Call the Governator! New Revenue Stream!
Even Lee recognized the degrading nature of the institution.
Too bad Reconstruction did not permanently break the power of the Southern "elite". Almost everyone would have been better off.
No, he's not an idiot. He's an amateur historian who has gathered a bunch of anecdotal stories together. He never makes any claim like 100,000 black confederate volunteer combatants. He does throw out similarly impressive numbers, but admits that those are mostly slaves who were leased by their owners to dig ditches, build forts, etc. , but which he counts as contributing to the confederate war effort.
Again, Watie lies.
Well that is quite nice of you to be impressed with my scholarly tone. But do you really think I give a rip how impressed you are with my scholarly tone? And, perhaps you neglected to view other recent posts on this thread. I shall repeat them for the sake of brevity...I am not the one in need of proof therefore I do not need to prove a thing as I have done my research and am quite aware of what is necessary to be known. If you desire proof, go to the library and find the appropriate books and read them! Anything else unclear?
Fiddle Dee Dee!
IF, you ever want to have a legitimate conversation with me, you best drop all NASTY and DEGRADING referrences to the South, Southern People, Southern Food, or Southern Anything. Just keep all dislikes to yourself when speaking to me, as I am quite uninterested in any nasty and/or degrading posts...
Sorry about the misunderstanding. I guess I failed. I try to limit my negative comments to the degenerate slave aristocracy and its successors and its later influence. Not to everything about the South.
Why, I am a 100% biological (if not in principle or officially) Son Of a Confederate Veteran!!! I have a great great grandpappy whose name is on a local SCV's "Wall of Honor" of CSA vets down in Georgia. For some reason, I've never felt like joining the SCV though I suspect many of not most of the SCV members disagree with the anti-Lincoln nonsense I've learned about on this message board.
But I try not to denigrate the memory of great grandpappy and the other exploited suckers for slavery who fought for the CSA. My contempt is only with the principles of Slavery Inc., aka the CSA.
I don't think it is possible to degrade the antebellum south. Rather, they did that job themselves.
Yes, you did fail! Have a nice life...

"I don't think it is possible to degrade the antebellum south. Rather, they did that job themselves."
No, Mr. Meaker, you are quite wrong. For you to make such a statement shows how uniformed you are. For some reason, the thought exists that if one pretends like it wasn't Lincoln's responsibility to uphold our constitution and not war against the country, all will be well. Seems like its the thinking that a good defense is an excellent offense. Well, this isn't a football game eventhough you are apparently playing it like one. Well, I don't like football, so there is obviously nothing to discuss...
So, do you feel it was a good idea of Lincoln to uphold the Constitution in South Carolina?
Or do you feel South Carolina was a separate country?
So the 100,000 free black figure was attributed to the wrong idiot?
Do you suppose it's possible that stand himself has not read the book?
I don't get it. You have expressed your utter contempt for the South and all she stands for, so why are you still posting to me?
Sport, I'm guessing.

the 10th amendment makes it clear, even to a blind man, that those "powers not ceded" to the federal government remain POWERS of the states/people. (fwiw, despite what we hear in the media, states do NOT have RIGHTS, but ONLY powers. only citizens have RIGHTS!)
secession was NEVER ceded & thus remains a power of each state.
