It's a pity you can't overcome your emoting, liberal mindset as well as your your public education indoctrination and get past the 'slavery is eeeevil' issue long enough to realize that the Civil War was the first step to stripping the States of their legitimate authority and to consolidate power in the federal government.

Here's a question for you. Let's see if you can answer it plain and simple...

If the South were to "rise again", would you be for or against slavery?

If the South were to "rise again", would you be for or against slavery?

Since I have NEVER, ONCE posted that thought slavery was a moral or just institution....

Since I have NEVER, ONCE posted that I thought slaves SHOULD BE enslaved.....

What exactly is your basis for thinking I consider slavery to be a 'good' thing?

Some people accept and acknowledge the historical, documented fact that slavery was LEGAL when the colonies were formed, LEGAL when the Declaration was written, LEGAL when the Revolution was fought, and LEGAL when the Constitution was signed.

Others, unfortunately, can't get over the concept that the Constitution is a LEGAL document, not a moral one, and I've always thought the only folks who believe in the 'living document' theory of the Constitution were liberals.
