You want to take a crack at the question I posted to you all the way back at #45?

This one?:"Do you accept that southern slaves, whose human rights actually were being trampled, not just threatened, had a similar right, indeed duty, to use violence against their oppressors? If not, why not?"

I've answered a similar question from your leader, non-sequitur, on a previous thread. They had the right. They simply didn't have the ambition.

Confederate apologist would be more accurate since I'm a native born Southerner.

NS and I may be fellow travelers, to some extent, but that doesn't mean he's my leader. I don't really have a leader. I'm more of a loose 12-pounder Napoleon.

They had the right. They simply didn't have the ambition.

So any southerners who fought to put down a slave rebellion would have been in the wrong? After all, it's certainly wrong to fight to take away other people's rights.

And old John Brown was in the right? Then why did the rights-respecting state of Virginia hang him?
