So then the enslaved black people were just collateral. You merely support the rights of states to reject the tariffs and to allow for black people to be used as cattle. That's what those arguing for states rights' were wanting at the time. That's what you're defending, is a state's right to oppress it's people as it sees fit, by making them less than human. That's a terrible thing to support.
You did, after all, read that link I gave you, didn't you? You said you would. Surely you wouldn't just ignore it and continue to argue from ignorance, would you?
Would you be in favor of letting me keep you as my property for 50 years, and then letting your grandchildren go free?
I have a shitload of work to do, and I need free labor to get it done.
It does from immediate execution on the frontline...
Have you ever read this document:
Confederate States of America - Message to Congress April 29, 1861 (Ratification of the Constitution)
Do you know who wrote it?
"No" to both questions (hint - the answer to the second is at the end of the page).
What do you know?
If everyone had some nice melons to get their hands on the world would be a much happier place.
Better to die a hero than live your life as a villain.
I read it, I am just saying keeping emotions aside, the forceful freeing of the slaves crippled our federal governments future growth, corrupting it die to the surge of power it enjoyed during the war, and the slaves would have been freed anyway sooner or later.
Compromises, treaties and laws are often passed with both (or more) sides not getting all of what they wanted.
Using it as an excuse for war is a very poor sport especially when it is connected to slave trade.
We'll see how you deal with that choice when its btw staying alive or getting your name on a plaque in a 100 years or so.
You're defending slavery.
If everyone had some nice melons to get their hands on the world would be a much happier place.
I don't like melons. I've always preferred bananas.
I rather die than commit an atrocity.

So it's not about freedom or human rights, it's about money. Black people were just resources to be used and exploited to make the economy stable.
As I said before, would you come work for me for 50 years? You will have no freedom, but I will let your grandchildren go free. Hell, I'm giving you more options than the southern slaves had. I'm actually letting you enter into this contract willfully.
Seriously, just 50 years. I'll let your grandchildren go. Deal?
Was that freedom worth all the dead men...
^Was the Revolution worth all the dead men?
Yes. It would have been worth a lot more rebel traitors lives, in fact.
Not a soldier would have had to die, after all, if the governments of the South hadn't illegally seceded from the United States, started the war by firing on a U.S. military installation, and then recruited the ignorant poor to fight for them.
Freedom is always worth the cost.
wonder if she'd like a return to the time when women couldn't vote or own land (though was ever a restriction in the U.S?).
