One of which was a bit about the issues surrounding the Civil War. I've read some emails from friends about the issue of state's rights and secession pro and con. What the author adds to that discussion (not that he mentions state's rights issue) is that of the tension that existed between slavery and the founding of this nation.
D'Sousa details how the framers of the Constitution struggled with the issue of slavery, with the issue of self government. To have forced the issue of outlawing slavery early on would have violated the very principle of self government they were trying to set up - the consent of the governed. So they set it up in a way that the principles contained in the Constitution would eventually overthrow the institution of slavery.
The arguments D'Sousa presents are worthy of considerable attention by any and all here.
My heart swells with pride and appreciation for what this country is founded on. Thanks to the author for his contributions to the discussion.
