Causes of Secession, and I've already posted the link.

Wha??? You claimed (in post #252) that South Carolina had petitioned congress 25 years before the Causes over the subject of either runaway slaves or tariffs on cotton exports (they're so easily confused). Asked to identify the petition or its date, you point to the Causes?

The causes aren't a petition. A petition asks for a redress of grievances. The Causes are an explanation of the motives for an action taken. They petition for nothing.

Thank you for the correction.

It seems you enjoy jumping on my mistakes as if the mistakes themselves created some type of evidence. I'm so sorry, I'm not perfect. I have never once in all my time here said that I was.

Have you still no opinion on Governor Mifflin's precedent I posted to you on #311?
