How does that validate your statement that "the South completely controlled the federal government until 1860"?!? (Hint: links from reputable sources would be a good start...)
Look, I know that you're dumber than a bag of hammers but c'mon!
John Marshall to Taney between the two that is almost the entire eighteenth century up to the War.
Are you suggesting that these two men were dictators and that the north wasn't represented in congress or the SC until after the Wah? I guess disHonest Abe's emancipation was further reaching than originally suspected....
FWIW, the Stars-n-Stripes flew over slavery much longer than the Stars-n-Bars.
the 3/5s rule allowing Slavers to vote as though their chattel was 3/5s of a man.
Wow. You really aren't very bright are you? The 3/5's rule was proposed by the yankees James Wilson and Roger Sherman because they (the north) didn't want blacks to count as a whole human being.
You've previously stated that you don't like to use quotes or links but I'm thinking that you simply don't read and that all you do is spout liberal, yankee propoganda.
Nor does the school he teaches at have any reputation of excellence in any field.
Like I said, you're dumber than a bag of hammers...
Nothing he says can change the fact that the Slavers readily admitted that they fought for slavery. It is only their modern apologists who claim they fought for some Noble Cause rather than the ability to use the Whip and the Lash.
States Rights was the Cause and slavery was the occasion and you can't provide any references and/or sources (other than your own absurdity and feeeeeeeelings, of course) to refute that.
BTW, while you're foaming at the pie hole trying to rebute the facts that I've so graciously provided for you, try reading (a difficult task for you, I know) about how your beloved northron comrades treated slaves and freedmen:
Presumably you believe that nastiness will drive me away. It won’t since I am used to nastiness and insanity from the Defenders of the Slavers.
Perhaps you need a refresher course on what control of the federal government means. Remember there are three branches of the fed/gov: Executive, legislative and judicial. As I SHOWED you all three were controlled by pro-slavery forces for almost the entire period prior to the RAT Rebellion.
The three fifths rule was a compromise with the Slavers. Of course, the North did not want the votes of the Slavers to be inflated by counting blacks. Are you really so big an idiot that you think Slaves could vote?
I stand corrected about Emory I was thinking of another school.
I neglected to comment on your States Rights claim as a cause for the Wah. There were no states rights which were endangered by the fedgov before the Wah. They only states “right” which was in any way endangered was the “right” to use the whip and the lash which is in no way a rights. The “right” to enslave was the only right the Slavers were concerned about.
The federal army was 16,000 SIXTEEN THOUSAND for those of you in Rio Linda.
It is utter fraud to claim that a federal “tyranny” in any way threatened the Slaverocracy. Or that the Slavers fought for any reason other than to promote slavery.
