The first Civil War was about States rights, the Second Civil War will be about, STATES RIGHTS.
It was not all about slavery.
Second Civil War will be about, STATES RIGHTS.
Arizona knows!
It was not “State Rights” that lead a SC Congressmen to beat a Massachusetts Senator to the edge of death on the Senate floor.
It was not “State Rights” that brought Abraham Lincoln back into politics in the 1850
It was not “State Rights” that caused men to butcher each other in “Bleeding Kansas”.
It was not “State Rights” that lead John Brown to raid Harper's Ferry.
No issue but Slavery lead men to political violence in the antebellum period. Without Slavery all other issues between the North and South could be dealt with in the normal political progress. Only Slavery is the "irreconcilable difference" that makes it impossible to forge a political solution.
To ignore the facts of that period to create a faux history in order to justify current political dogmas is intellectually dishonest.
We on the Right routinely decry the attempt by the Left to rewrite history to justify their current political dogmas. We should not do it either.
That Slavery was fundamental issue that split the North and the South in the Civil War is just plain fact. That it was the issue in no way is relevant to the current arguments about the 10th Amendment and State Sovereignty.
Conservatives should give up this foolish attempt to rewrite Civil War history to justify current political arguments
Sure it was, and if there is another Civil War it will be about the government enslaving all of us.
