Border State Congressmen to Abraham Lincoln, Tuesday, July 15, 1862 (Minority response to Lincoln's proposal for compensated emancipation) *Proof that the CSA was willing to emancipate in return for foreign recognition. It was independence they sought, not “protecting slavery.”

Instead of accepting the Dred Scott decision – the ultimate authority in the interpretation of constitutional questions – as conclusive of a controversy that had so long disturbed the peace and was threatening the perpetuity of the Union, it was flouted, denounced, and utterly…

You're right, it's either one or the other. Undoubtedly Lincoln wanted the skirmish that ensued and from it got the war he expected.

On taking slave property into the territories: The “war-cry” employed to train the northern mind for the deeds contemplated by the agitators was “no extension of slavery!” Was this sentiment real or feigned? The number of slaves would not have been increased by their…

Once the low Confederate tariff was announced, powerful Northern business interests came out strongly opposed to peace with the Confederacy.  As the pressure for aggression mounted, Lincoln decided to provoke an attack on the fort in order to use the attack as a pretext for…

Lincoln said, “Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly, or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy,…

Here are the numbers on southern slave ownership in 1860. Our opposition will use every member of a household and apply them as “slave owners” in order to inflate the numbers.

No Northerners went to war to free slaves. They fell for Lincoln's 'save the Union' without contemplating the bankers, merchants and industrialists, who relied on slave labor. If it weren't for the slaves of the South, the North would be non-existent. Know the history or shutup

In an interview, Gore Vidal said, “I always thought Lincoln was wrong. I always thought the South had every right to go. If Lincoln had a high moral purpose—which has now been invented for him, posthumously, as the abolition of slavery—I’d say, well it’s illegal but it’s morally…

Northerners can deflect guilt for post war Southern poverty by pretending they went to war to free the slaves.

(1 of 5) The Kansas Confederate Military Enlistment Map is finished and the research was so scattered it nearly took me about two weeks to finish. Kansas mustered some 20,000 troops into 17 Union regiments however Kansas volunteers also secretly mustered in a Confederate…

How about another round of affordable Confederate relics! Who is interested?

A committee of the Senate made a long and laborious investigation of the facts regarding the raid on Harper’s Ferry by John Brown. And the final report, June 15, 1860, accompanying the evidence obtained and submitted, this committee said: “It was simply the act of lawless…

“To whatever extent the question of slavery may have served as an occasion, it was far from being the cause of the conflict.”

Concerning migration to the Kansas Territory… Societies were formed in the North to supply money and send emigrants into the new territories; and a famous preacher, addressing a body of those emigrants, charged them to carry with them to Kansas, “the Bible and Sharpe’s rifles.”…

The author of the Law of Nations, Emmerich de Vattel’s definition of a “right.” “The right being nothing more than the power of doing what is morally possible, that is to say, what is proper and consistent with duty, it is evident that right is derived from duty, or passive…

"Extension of slavery" was a lie. It wasn’t about adding slaves, but whether Southerners could enter the territories with their property—just like Northerners. Denying that right made them second-class citizens. That was never in the Constitutional bargain.

Yes. That's why many constitutional scholars North and South saw this as a question of constitutional interpretation, not a moral question. There was no such principle, at the time, as "we feel the constitution is immoral so we'll ignore it" as the Republicans tried to argue.

Look what I just found ☝️! Our Rebel flag and the flag of Novorussia are identical save the stars. I knew this, but this video takes it to another level. The Russians fighting Yankee Empire in Donbass know our soul too. @WanjiruNjoya @ArmisDei @Jeff_Davis1808 @jjfThompson

This is especially true with regard to that familiar but most fallacious expression, “The extension of slavery.” To the reader unfamiliar with the subject, or viewing it only on the surface, it would perhaps never occur that, as used in the great controversies respecting the…

Every American needs to be aware of the level of corruption committed by the federal government and why we need to rethink the idea of one massive government to manage so many people. youtu.be/Uug-2yx1WYE?si…
