It is so amusing to see Lost Causers argue to defend their side’s position on continuing slavery for economic and social reasons as a so-called state right.

Ignoring the unnecessary and derogatory "LC" comment, where did the constitution take the determination of slavery from a state right to a federal right?

How about Lincoln's Republican Party's official platform statement in 1960 with regards to slavery:

"Resolved, 1. That the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions, according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depends, and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes."

Was Lincoln and his entire Republican party as ig'nant as muhself is?

Your argument againt me is to claim that the Constitution admitted slavery as a State right.

How pathetic your argument is but you make it anyway.

That is why the LC term fits so well. You are a Lost Causer if you think that the Constitution allowed for slavery and still continue to argue that it did.

Of course Amendments were made and Lost Cuase democrats of the Progressive / Confederate alliance still continued to fight against liberty for ALL regardless just as you do now.
