The naacp can pound sand.... to they think that they are the majority here? Well, they are NOT. South Carolina has a RIGHT to her history!

Calling one’s ancestors traitors probably is not going to sway folks.

But organizers of the ball say their intention is to honor men who were willing to die to protect their vision of states' rights and what this nation was supposed to be.

Then why are they holding a secession ball? Many members of the secessionist political class stayed away from the fighting and profited greatly from the sacrifice of their more noble countrymen.

I wonder if that historical marker will contain the entire text of South Carolina’s the Ordinance of Secession?

And if not, why not?

The NAACP plans to protest Monday night's "Secession Ball." Leaders of the civil rights group have said it makes no sense to honor men who committed treason in order to maintain a system that kept black men and woman in bondage as slaves.

Seems like most blacks traded one plantation for another. Now the slave foreman are black, so it is fair now.

Here jack wagon at your request:

AN ORDINANCE to dissolve the union between the State of South Carolina and other States united with her under the compact entitled "The Constitution of the United States of America."

We, the people of the State of South Carolina, in convention assembled do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, That the ordinance adopted by us in convention on the twenty-third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, and also all acts and parts of acts of the General Assembly of this State ratifying amendments of the said Constitution, are hereby repealed; and that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States, under the name of the "United States of America," is hereby dissolved.

The South should have freed the slaves and then voted to leave the Union. They would have won the war.

It depends. The foolish gang of secessionists themselves deserve the title. Not so much for the humble farm boys who were presented with a difficult by stupid action of the politicians. My problem with the NAACP in these issues is that they too often fail to make the distinction. The Confederacy exploited and misused most working Southerners of both racers.

The NAACP will never be satisfied. They are already "boycotting" SC because we insist on flying the Confererate flag over the state capitol in Columbia. Now this...

Don’t they need to go protest the gang-related slaying of an innocent baby in some hood and leave people alone who aren’t bothering them? I hope they play “Dixie” at the dance!

Well said. I never got why people fetishize treason. The whole point is that our political process can handle these issues. Though if someone pines for running a cotton plantation in a place with slavery and a weak central government, they could always move to Nigeria...

They claimed they would boycott Mississippi if we voted to keep our flag. Which we did, it’s now the official state flag. When they first threatened us with that particular blackmail, we told them “Go right ahead.” At least where I live, I can’t see any signs of boycott. That’s one good thing about being a poor state. You don’t have much to lose when threatened with economic blackmail anyway, makes it easy to stand on principle. Not that standing on principle should ever be the difficult choice. But like the song says, “freedom just means nothing left to lose” at least for us.

The "political process" has brought the republic to the brink of destruction. Some solutions are not political in nature. Look at the basket case you live in Kalifornication. Your vote means nothing there and you are just a pathetic pimple here too.

and a weak central government,

What you are saying is that you don't believe in the republic as founded by the original signers of the Constitution. You know what, screw that. Go back to your whine and cheese party and come back when you get a clue.

I see you are a Lincoln hagiophile. I myself don’t hold Ol’ Abe in quite such high esteem.

Bravo. You are correct. Some people do not have a clue.
