The South went to war to preserve the institution of slavery and to expand it into the Kansas Territory and beyond. Yours is just another echoing of a revisionist argument that has advanced the STATES RIGHTS''nonsense. "States Rights'' to do what? To have the right to own another another human being. Slavery was codified in The Confederate Constitution. One of my ancestors was William C. Grace. He was the Chief Medical Steward for The Surgeon Generals Office in Washington DC during The Civil War. He wrote The US Army Surgeons Manual(Google it). He spent the war dealing with the carnage your ''states rights'' advocated. Honestly it never ceases to amaze and gall me at the same time that people who call themselves conservatives come to a conservative web site venerating a bunch of treasonous southern Democrats.
Hey little boy if you can’t discuss something without resorting to name calling why don’t you take it over to Dummy land.
Well that's what they keep telling us, but i'm starting to doubt the truth of statements originating from Washington DC and their corrupt power cartel.
And this is how much slavery you would have had in Kansas according to reality.
Here is your evidence.
If the map went back to 1776, it would show an even better trend, because when the nation started, all of the states were slave states, and the movement was all in the direction of abolition.
You think the other states would buck the trend indefinitely?
“And there is no ‘’valid’’ argument that slavery was on it’s way out.”
It doesn’t appear you fully understand the importance of the Florida Supreme Court’s 1860 ruling in Cato a Slave, vs. The State.
