The entire Slaver Defense collapses when it is pointed out that there was NO tyranny in 1860. There was no actual tyranny nor an incipient tyranny.
The US (except for the South) was the freest nation on earth (unless you were on the business end of the Slaver Whips).
You're not very good at this, are you? (It's not even fun anymore. It's like, kicking yankees and their lapdog scalawags......)
Once again, you're posting personally held believes that have no foundation in fact. In fact, Buchanan's State of the Union Address, 12/3/1860, goes into great detail of 'incipient tyranny'. (I'd post a link but have decided to let you do your own digging, which, of course, is not your strong suit.)
Furthermore, the entire South was aware of the impending tyranny following the election of disHonest Abe. Why do you think they seceded?
unless you were on the business end of the Slaver Whips
You mean the ones wielded by the yankee slave traders?
