And it was still treason against the mother govt. The United States was British citizens and the country was extremely divided with most remaining Loyalists. But it’s funny you find the cause of rebelling against a gov’t ok for taxes but not in the cause of true slavery. Hitler and the Nazis were elected and ruled Germany. It would have been nice to have seen a John Brown rise up there

1) You just Godwinned the thread. Fail.
2) Call the founders of the US traitors if you want, it doesn't help your argument a bit. I pointed out the specific differences between the steps taken by the founders and those by John Brown and you IGNORED each point. Fail.
3) I made no statement about what one can, and cannot, rebel against a government for but you continue to say I did. If the northern states had "rebelled" against the union and seceded from it as legal representatives of their people because they didn't want to be in a slave nation....great. But John Brown represented NOBODY and had NO legal authority at all. I have made these points previously and you studiously IGNORE them. Fail.
