This time all you “yankees” are welcome to join our side for states’ rights. In fact, if the south had prevailed the states’ right issue would have been resolved and this bill would never have seen the light of day. So, let’s get it right this time.

Where was the South when New England was standing up for states' rights from 1801 to 1815? The South was calling them traitors.

Do you know why the South seceded from the Union? Because Lincoln was elected President. He hadn't even been inaugurated and they had a hissy fit and seceded. Furthermore, they knew good and well that Abraham Lincoln had no intention of interfering with slavery in those states where it already existed because the Constitution gave it ironclad protection. His only "crime" was not wanting slavery to spread throughout the country. Because of this, the planters seceded from the Union in a typical Democrat hissy-fit.

"States' rights?" I got three words for you: Fugitive Slave Law.

I take back my invitation. You will not be welcomed. Stay up there in the land of commies. And remember, the repubicans of that day are the democrats of today.

And one other thing, the best thing that happened to America at that time was the hole put in Lincoln’s head. Too bad it didn’t happen earlier. Does that get your dander up?
