Uncle Bob Brown, a former servant of the Davis family and a passenger on the train, saw the many flowers that the children had laid on the side of the railroad tracks. Brown was so moved by this beautiful gesture that he wept uncontrollably.

No, states rights didn’t die at Appomattox courthouse. They died when some people decided that states rights also included the right to own slaves. Had they been a moral people, and not insisted on their way, we might still have states rights.
Not vitriol, but rather historical fact.
That’s an absurd statement.
I believe that the deaths of the Civil War and our lost freedoms are direct consequences of the SIN of Southern slavery. It does not matter what the real political reasons were for the secession or war, God used it to bring justice and retribution on the United States.
“The Bible treated the slave as a human, with rights, and stated that he/she must be freed after seven years.”
I believe that was only for Israelite slaves, was it not? On not-Isrealite slaves, I don’t believe God placed a restriction.
Good report on Pres. Davis.
Thanks.
Except the south wanted to prevent US states from banning slavery within their own borders. Then they objected to the United States banning slavery in US territories. Further they objected to the United States electing their chosen President.
Run on home and play with your toy soldiers little reb.
The rebellion had everything to do with slavery. The rebellion was the southern plutocrats action to preserve, protect, and extend slavery. That these were illegal acts, meant that the rebellion had to be put down. And it was.

No,There were issues going back to the war of independence,Plus States Rights and unfair Taxation to name a couple.
I thought you limited yourself to making pro-fag comments on the homo threads. You’re just trying to pick a fight on this one
Yes, I am sure that is how the millions of slaves felt about it.
Slavery was the chief reason the South rejected the election of Lincoln, who was elected on the platform of restricting slavery.
They controlled the Senate and could block anything they didn't like.
Due to slavery,(3/5 rule) they were overrepresented in the House.
Amen! No one who enslaves another has a right to talk about his own freedom’s being abused.
Non-Jews could be held in slavery, but there were restrictions on it.
For example, an escaped slave could not be returned to his master.
I’m sure that if the south won the slaves would have been repatriated back to their homeland as soon as modern technology made their services unecessary.
About preserving the rights of the states to be free of UNJUST subjagations by the clowns in DC
Slavery wax none of the norths goddamed business and was a whole lot less evil than the baby killing that the clowns in DC have enshrined as the law of the land.
How many black babies have been aborted?
Kind of makes slavery pale in comparison
“They died when some people decided that states rights also included the right to own slaves.”
Are you sure you want to go with that? That list includes Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, among others. The Kentucky and Virginia Resolves penned by Jefferson and Madison in 1798 make the case rather explicitly.
I’m impressed with the amount of error you manage to pack into one brief post.
“Due to slavery,(3/5 rule) they were overrepresented in the House”
You have it backwards. The 3/5 Compromise was proposed by Wilson of Pennsylvania and Sherman of Connecticut. The 3/5 rule was designed to reduce representation from slave holding states.
Without it, slaves would count as full persons for the purpose of apportioning House members, and that would have increased the number of Representatives from the South.
