desertfreedom765: "Dred Scott enraged the North and Harper’s Ferry enraged the South.
They were the final straws so to speak.
I was just pointing out the Truth."

I like that, especially the capital "T" part. ;-)

Of course, they were far from either first or "final straws".
So Dred Scott (1857) helped destroy the Northern pro-slavery Whig party, and John Brown (1859) convinced many Southerners that abolitionists were both serious and dangerous.

But decisions of secede and start war on the United States were taken by Deep South leaders, for reasons which today defy rational explanation.

That's why we see our pro-Confederate FRiends posting so much nonsense here.
The real Truth for them, and for us, makes no sense.

“for reasons which today defy rational explanation.”

So you find state’s rights irrational I see.

Did you make sure to vote for King Obama like the rest of the folks in PA? Thanks for that, btw.

Really appreciated all that you did to keep the South ‘free’.
