  • From Imran:
    That is only a problem if you consider that the South was the only place that argued for states' rights. The fact is that they didn't. They argued for states' rights on most things, but sometimes they went for a stronger federal government. Same thing with Northern states. It was just different what they wanted the federal government to assert.
    *** END OF QUOTE ***

    Ok, so the Southern states advocated for a stronger federal government in respects that the right to all property is to be protected, in all the states.
    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

    • Which Southern states?

      They weren't all the same, and all states have different interests in mind. But for the most part your statement is correct. Since slaves were considered property, they wanted their property protected.

      • Kathy Lee is a friend to slaves?


        I gues she must be since she keeps making so many of them to work in her sweatshops.
        Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
