Yea, right, Lefty.
Constitutional revisionism began with the Taney court. See Madison and his comments on the use of the world 'servitude' and the reasons 'slave' was not used in the constitution. The Fugitive Slave Act was a constitutional fraud.
Your statement is pure liberal revisionism. Anyone with even a limited knowledge of history knows that the Constitution would have never been adopted if there had been no provision to protect slavery.
I would also point out that when J Q Adams got up in Congress to mention the right of Massachusetts to secede from the Union, it was the southern Congress that censored him for it. Some actually wanted to boot him. What weak kneed and unconscionable hypocrites you draw your political inheritance from.
Speaking of hypocrisy, all 13 of the states who fought for liberty -- for independence from England -- had slavery. Yet historians refuse to admit that the southern states fought for liberty because, well, they had slavery. In fact, modern liberal thinking is that the State-rights, including secession, was originated by Calhoun. Such hypocrits. To expound on your brief statement, four times northern states threatened secession: 1802; 1811; 1814; and 1844. The first was from Timothy Pickering of Mass, the second from Josiah Quincy from Mass, the third from the Hartford Convention, and the fourth from the Mass Legislature. John Quincy Adams stated, in 1939, "the people of each State have a right to secede from the Confederated Union."
Go read Woodrow Wilson some more. He's got a lot of pointers for you.
Wilson was a tyrant in the mold of Lincoln. He could certainly give you some pointers.
John Quincy Adams in 1939? You boys are so lost in the Republican party....
John Quincy Adams in 1939? You boys are so lost in the Republican party.... It's alright though. The Republican Party has a long history of making do with what it can get, no matter the quality.
