Read the previous posts why don't you. I was responding to billbears and his position on nullification, not the cause of the Civil War.

I asked you what law in the Constitution did the South nullify as you suggest they did. I don't see where it got more complicated than that.

Again, if you read the posts, I was not specifically talking about nullifying any particular law. It was billbears who suggested that states had the right to ignore laws that they did not agree with or which they believed were illegal. The south didn't nullify a single law, they entered into a rebellion.
