It was about the rights of states to allow their citizens to own slaves
WRONG.. What the States did internally was none of the federal givernments business.. i.e. 10th amendment..
The federal givernment business was inter State OR international business....
Slavery was wrong but legal.. the WAR of Northern Aggression forced the issue.. a cabal of States trying to force democracy on other States..
YOU KNOW..... MOB RULE BY MOBSTERS.. democracy..
AND this Republic has been a democracy ever since..
Most americans are not to smart.. this goes right over their heads..
The federal givernment was meant to be a servant of the States NOT their Master..
AND WHY?.. the US Constitution was written down to LIMIT the federal givernment NOT the States..
The War of Northern Aggression REVERSED THAT.. limiting THE STATES..
AND STILL DOES....
We crossed that bridge with the Fugitive Slave Act which compelled Free States to actively intervene on behalf of slavers.
Slavery was wrong but legal.. the WAR of Northern Aggression forced the issue.. a cabal of States trying to force democracy on other States..
You mean the War of Southern Aggression which attempted to bend the rest of the country to its will and then tried to blow up the country when it failed.
