You’d have to win this time around. That’s the bottom line. Just win baby.
Ah, the palpable satirical tyranny of the oh-so-proper and right academics. Try the UNC Chapel Hill archives library. Website and research requests readily available online. Volumes of works and personal records and memoirs document the politics, tariffs and reality of the day. Please stop trying to push non-truths and injecting current morality judgement on those of us who know what the history is because we were there- our families were there and lived and died as a result of those actions and wrote it down. Goodness, if we could only accept the history dished out by the experts at Princeton. What a joke. Included in that history was the rescue and protection from Union carpetbaggers and Freedman’s criminals installed by Stanton’s thugs, of the manumitted people from our home place. If that is too emotional for you, so be it, but those families are still closely connected to ours and have never forgotten it. Our country was meant to be a Switzerland. Within a generation slavery would have dissolved away and the issue could have been solved economically. Because it could not be resolved financially, and the reality of the oligarch’s true goals, the South seceded as we had a right to do— and the States still have this right. The net result of this “righteous” invasion for the straw man of the “peculiar institution” was the seizure of our property, wealth and freedom and a justification for progressive fascism, and opportunistic RINOs, DINOs and oligarchs all too comfortable with ever increasing centralized federal control of all of our lives, and a degeneration of moral values of our current times to the tune of the Harvard humanists.
Only a blood thirsty boot licking fascist Federalist dictatorial statist connects violence with the simple act of leaving.
Well said from Central VA. And explanatory of the thread of odd politics from a supposed conservative freeper. Understandable if one is trapped in some rust belt urban center that is a tool of federal government, or perhaps a gubmint employee either one of whom is dependent on a government fiat. Beholdened.
Non-Sequitur- well named.
As before, will devote all we have for freedom.
And well answered by me in reply 118. Or didn't you get to that part yet?

I was a 'gubmint employee' for over 27 years, both active duty and reserve. You may find that contemptuous but I'm proud of my naval service and don't feel a need to apologize for it.
Ike also didn’t believe there were any traitors in the state department after World War II.
A lot of it is available on line at their DocSouth collection, and I've spent a lot of time browsing them. But in all that time I've found nothing on those tariffs you claim were placed on Southern exports. Nor, I must admit, have I found any evidence of any tariff on any export from any state at any time. I've found the confederate export tariff but nothing by the federal government. So I confess I'm dependent on you for more details. How about it?
Ike was a big fan of George Marshall too, who lost China to the communists.
HI TG-—yeah the GOP has certainly lost its way ... since when??? The progressives? It has assembled and reassembled so many times that it is really like a patchwork creature...needs to be put to rest.
And our govt and really all of us - let millions of people die in the gulags and prisons behind the iron curtain. Unforgiveable...
God Bless...
We have met the enemy and he is US.
Non sequitur. Non serviam. Non sibi, sed patriae.
Mendacem memorem esse oportet.
Ciao. Aeternum vale.
Cur tu me vexas?
