That’s very interesting.

I think you would have made a great addition to the team; I do not know of Ned Ryun. (I don’t think)

As to “hold them in peace”, I think that there is a real possibility that they probably got tired of being “harassed” (Which is probably how they viewed it) by people in the press after the Founding, as well as abolitionist activists.(both from the north)

Not to mention all of those abolitionist laws passed by members of the Founding generation in northern states. They weren’t perfect but their intent and trajectory are clear. That all had to culminate and make southern slaveholders feel isolated.

"Ned Ryun" - of the American Majority group, Tucker Carlson has him on a lot. Pretty solid conservative.

His father, an Olympic athlete, I think, was world record holder for the mile.

And that's my mind dump of "Ned Ryun"

Yes, absolutely, but it is interesting that Calhoun embraced a cancel culture (they banned Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and all other abolitionist works).
