Saving the crown is not the same as preserving a Union and Constitution that "We the People" had agreed upon.
Spare me the crocodile tears about slavery. Yes it was wrong but its a moot point. The entire Western world was moving towards that direction as would the USA or the COnfederacy is it had been allowed to survive.....without so many having to die.
A demise of slavery slow or otherwise would have been inconvenient for a regime with a cornerstone of slavery as its own vice president boldly asserted.
“The recourse to the Declaration of Independence is rather ironic considering the slave empire didn’t much like attention to that document.”
Again, stop getting your ideas from Hollywood & crack a few history books. The constutution was trashed during the Ciivil War. I know you dont like to hear it, I dont like to hear the slave stuff, but there are uncomfortable truths on both sides.
“dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,...”
That was killed in the Civil War by the Union. That cannot be argued.
“The reference to revolution and mention of inaliable God-given rights might give the human property ideas and make them uppity”
No more so than the founders of our country...you seem to block out the parts of our history you dont like.
Grow up! Yopu’re trying to judge the values of people who are as far removed from todays values as you could imagine.
