William Seward criticizes the pro-slavery policies of the Democratic Party
Grand Old Partisan ^ | October 25, 2010 | Michael Zak

Posted on 10/25/2010 7:28:30 AM PDT by Michael Zak

On this day in 1859, Senator William Seward (R-NY) said:

"The Democratic party is inextricably committed to the designs of the slaveholders... The history of the Democratic Party commits it to the policy of slavery. It has been the Democratic Party, and no other agency, which has carried that policy up to its present alarming culmination... Such is the Democratic Party... The government of the United States, under the conduct of the Democratic Party, has been all that time surrendering one plain and castle after another to slavery."

The more things change...

But then you would have to argue that it was necessary for Lincoln to order a military fleet to Charleston

It was necessary for him to at minimum attempt to reprovision the fort and he notified Governor Pickins of his intentions to do so peacefully if possible. Jefferson Davis chose war against the advice of his Vice President, Robert Toombs.

At the same time, Fort Pickens in Florida was reprovisioned, peacefully.

It was the newly elected appointed Democrat, Jefferson Davis, who ordered shots fired at Charleston when none were necessary.

Fixed it for you. Davis wasn't elected.

In view of that, the Confederate Command chose self defense, which was not only necessary but courageous.

What is courageous about trying to starve the garrison into surrender and then initiating a war, all rather than allow the status quo to continue?

So....you're pretending to be someone who you think handed me my ass on a regular basis? Shouldn't you project yourself into someone who's alias didn't have a gender opposite of your own? Unless, of course, you really do want to....well, we won't go there.

LOL!

More non-sequiturs... that’s all you’re good for. I’m not PRETENDING to be anyone. I AM calling you the name she called you. Are you slow? What makes you think that poster was a she. Obviously you didn’t think that based on your responses. You’re creepy, seriously. When are you going to tell us your real reason for this obsession. Obviously you have some skin in the game.

More non-sequiturs from the OCD slavery CW obsessed one. Why don’t you go back to defending Muslims and bashing the Jews and Israel like you did when you first joined? Afraid you were crossing the line and were going to get banned weren’t you?

Is that your newest non-sequitur to use? Call people fags or lesbos? That’s really weird since you are so pro gay right, anti DADT, and pro gay marriage. You are just one big NON_SEQUITUR.

Go tell BuckeyeTexan that, please. You’re a female, not a doubt in my mind. No man would say something so queer. Posting twice means striking a nerve? Go get some Midol.

You know better than that. You've got the pictures.

I just find it odd that you and jessduntno would call another guy 'dearie' is all. But then you've never struck me as being all that normal to begin with.

He/she is a big government socialist and won’t be happy until the government runs every aspect of our lives. Of course Snidely likes Obongo.

You of all people would know the answer to that. Scroll through your archives and count.

"dearie Snidley"? You're growing stranger by the minute. Or more desperate to come up with lame attempts at insults, I'm not sure which.

Figure out how to get back to 2001 and see for yourself.

You were the one who made the claim in the first place, we're all waiting for you to pull it out of your...archives and post it.
