Precisely for the freedom of the people. After the South lost, the people were no longer acknowledged by the courts. They were replaced by persons and individuals.
Ignorance of that significance has been the downfall of this country, and will continue to be the downfall of this country until, and unless, it is universally rectified.
“Precisely for the freedom of the people. After the South lost, the people were no longer acknowledged by the courts. They were replaced by persons and individuals.”
On the contrary, the people of the South voted against secession, but the Democrat Party elite refused to accept the judgment of the Southern people and the Northern people, setup new and fraudulent plebiscites where their vote fraud and voter intimidation could be suppress native son opposition until the Democrat elites got the phony vote results they wanted. Using covert financing, military, and naval support from the British Crown, the Democrat elite schemed to trade cotton produced by the slaves for British financing and political support. Southerners who got in the way were systematically beaten, robbed, shot, and killed. In other words, the Southern Democrats used and abused the Southern people in a fraudulent quest for personal power and wealth all the while hiding behind states rights and state patriotism as a false pretext and excuse for their plundering of their fellow Southern people.
“Ignorance of that significance has been the downfall of this country, and will continue to be the downfall of this country until, and unless, it is universally rectified.”
Having lost their quest for power on the battlefields of the American Civil War, the elite Democrats renewed the battle for supremacy over the people using the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government at the state and Federal levels; and they vied with the elite Republicans, often RINOs and CINOs (conservatives In Name Only), in doing so. Meanwhile, the rank and file Democrats and Republicans were used and abused as pawns worthy of little respect for any consequences of their misconduct.
