I’d say oldfart is on target, but don’t let truth or facts mask your open contempt for the South.
Just like most liberals, there are even FReepers who are resentful (or jealous) of the south....personally, I wouldn’t live anywhere else.
But you don't.
The fact is that the Southern states organized and drove the greatest federal intrusion on constitutional rights and states' autonomy that ever existed in US history - the Fugitive Slave Acts.
They were afraid that the new GOP president and legislature would restore constitutional order - so they started a preemptive war against justice.
