Had a delegate to do just that,

A delegation to end slavery? How has that fact managed to be missed in every single history of the Civil War that has ever been published?

Slavery was always just an excuse. Federalism was always the reason.

I don't think the people in charge of the Confederacy would agree with you. But what did they know?

Interesting study nonetheless.

You do seem to make it more interesting that most.

LOL! Likely at least 4 in 10 people in SC wish the South had won the Civil War. The occupation of Charleston was horrible.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

I agree.

[KC_Conspirator]

Total BS. I dont support Trump, but most of his supporters I know are northerners.

“The NWO is the logical end of federalism.”

Agreed. Statism with the capital S.

Or who long for human chattel. That knife can cut a lot of ways...

Had nothing to do with chattel. Had to do with who controlled the money and territory. As a British Newspaper Observed in 1862:

"The principle [of the Proclamation] is not that a human being cannot justly own another, but that he cannot own him unless he is loyal to the United States."

London Spectator, October 11, 1862

But 110% of Bernie supporters are glad the north won the war of aggression. They don't want states rights. They want free$hit.

Which is itself another incarnation of slavery... for those people who have to work to pay for other people's "free $hit."

Here is Hank Jr. classic that agrees.

Depends on whether you were the one third of the Confederate population being trod on or the two thirds doing the trodding.

Of course your position is that Trodding on other people who seek independence is a good thing.

Big fan of the Nat Turner rebellion are you?

Compare the Confederate and US Constitutions. One barred the importation of slaves, the other prohibited a bar on the importation of slaves:

Confederate Constitution:

Sec. 9. (I) The importation of negroes of the African race from any foreign country other than the slaveholding States or Territories of the United States of America, is hereby forbidden; and Congress is required to pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the same.

(2) Congress shall also have power to prohibit the introduction of slaves from any State not a member of, or Territory not belonging to, this Confederacy.

US Constitution:

Section 9.

The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person.

Me too!

Democrats have created a new plantation. Socialists will destroy what vestige of freedom we have left.

[uncitizen]

They say that like it’s a bad thing.

[DiogenesLamp]

Hmmm, this son of immigrants that came to America long after the War Between The States wishes the South had won.

I am in the same boat. My family came here around 1900, and we didn't settle in a Confederate state.

The more I learn about this war, the more I think the wrong side won it.

[DoodleDawg]

The importation of negroes of the African race from any foreign country other than the slaveholding States or Territories of the United States of America, is hereby forbidden

How do you interpret that as "barring slave imports" when it specifically says imports from the U.S. are allowed?

[PAR35]

Delaware and Washington D.C. weren’t known for their slave breeding. Maryland was held in the Union by force, as was Missouri.
