Finish your story. Taney was never arrested, but he WOULD HAVE BEEN in the Confederacy. Lew Rockwell is a racist and totally un-historical site, by the way. I know you love that crap, so don't bother reposting. You'll get no more replies from me. But the other board members should know that Lew Rockwell's site has the accuracy of, well, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
So what's your assessment of Thomas E. Woods new "Politically Incorrect Guide to American History?"
In all fairness we need to point out that the chief justice of the confederate supreme court was in no danger of being jailed by the Davis regime. Of course that is because there was no confederate supreme court, despite the fact that their constitution required one.
In a 1865 decision, one of the many administration actions that was taken before the Supreme Court, Lambden Milligan was set free when it was ruled that habeas corpus could not be suspended in areas where the courts operated freely. In the south under Jefferson Davis, Bubba Milligan would have been executed because habeas corpus had been suspended all through the south and there was no judicial appeal available to him.
What bullsh*t!
Lew Rockwell is not racist in the least, only right-wing, and highly conservative. DISPROVE them first.
Liberals and Lincoln-Lovers don't like the sight for obvious reasons...could you be one of that crowd perhaps?
Hmmmmmmmm?
Painting with a BROAD brush as you do indicates a closed mind concerning many subjects of importance.
