Very good points in your 52. Adams explores this very ably in his When in the Course of Human Events. Hummel also treats it honestly and well in his Emancipating Slaves; Enslaving Free Men

The statist pigs who haunt these threads will kick, scream, pout and dissemble but remember, Adams and Hummel are BOTH Northerners!

Indeed, an entire series of vital texts, if you want to avoid the disinformationist filter of the globalist cabal, is here.

Here are a couple of salient quotes that augment your 52 quite well; note the dates of each:

”Stripped of all its covering, the naked question is, whether ours is a federal or consolidated government; a constitutional or absolute one; a government resting solidly on the basis of the sovereignty of the States, or on the unrestrained will of a majority; a form of government, as in all other unlimited ones, in which injustice, violence, and force must ultimately prevail." -–Calhoun, 1831

"What was once a Constitutional Federal Republic, is now converted in reality into one as absolute as that of the autocrat of Russia, and as despotic in its tendency as any absolute government that ever existed." -- John C. Calhoun, Southern statesman and visionary in his last speech to Congress, 1850
