"I did, Bull Connor's South."
Too vague to base an argument on. I want specific states and time lines as you say "historically". To be "historically" there has to be a nice lengthy time line and a pattern in that time line.
Just to say "Bull Connor's South" is trivial. Also, since you think that the founding fathers accepted state abuse of civil liberties, I think a few prime examples from their time period would be good.
You made the claim, now back it up.
