OK thanks for the info
Erie was an American owned and crewed ship. Her Captain, the owner, was born in the State of Maine. Of course it was illegal for Americans to engage in the slave trade. But it was done. The slaves on the Erie were bound for Cuba.
You deliberately misconstrued my post. Try again.
Do you even understand how making a rational argument works?
Fact: the same state legislatures that voted to secede were the state legislatures that demanded the Fugitive Slave acts.
The Democrats didn't passively accept their passage - they championed them and demanded ever stricter enforcement.
The Resolutions were flawed from the beginning: the Constitution Madison wrote says that the acts of the state legislatures are subordinate to federal law, not the other way around.
That's why the final Kentucky resolution admitted that Kentucky would obey federal law while reserving its ability to complain about it, and the Virginia resolution effectively did the same.
Then try this on for size, genius:
“The following resolutions were proposed to the Kentucky Legislature, and this version was adopted on November 10, 1798, as a protest against the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by Congress. They were authored by Thomas Jefferson, but he did not make public the fact until years later. This represents one of the clearest expressions of his views on how the Constitution was supposed to be interpreted.
The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798
1. Resolved, That the several States composing, the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral part, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress...”
Not true.
South Carolina’s declaration was written about losing our way of life ( slavery).
They sent delegations to the as yet undeclared States to convince them that their way of life was threatened
Hmm. Well that's...
Wow.
Jesus Christ: You cant impeach Him and He aint gonna resign.
Who is Jesey boy?
Well, when you can control what other people do, maybe you can pass on to others tips on how to get that done.
Let us know when the Westboro baptists stop using the cross and when the KKK stop using the American flag.
Not being snarky, just pointing out how some things are easier said than done.
