The SLAVE MASTER WILL NOT RELINQUISH HIS SLAVES!

Bingo!

We have a winner!

That is why the Confederacy went to war with the Union.

fortheDeclaration, you're beginning to bore the hell out of me. Read this and resign, stump and cry back over to your buddies at DU..

"I see, as you do, and with the deepest affliction, the rapid strides with which the Federal branch of the government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that, too, by constructions which, if legitimate, leave no limits to their powers.

The South might well be forced into a choice between the dissolution of the Union with them, or submission to a government without limitation of powers. Between these two evils, when we must make a choice, there can be no hesitation. But in the meanwhile, the States should be watchful to note every material usurpation on their rights; to denounce them as they occur in the most peremptory terms, to protest them as wrongs to which our present submission shall be considered, not as acknowledgments . . . ." - - Thomas Jefferson
