Grave found of man who bankrolled the Communist takover of the United States in the early 21st Century. George Soros...
Well..., there was a supporter of the 10th Amendment... :-)
History and case law
The Tenth Amendment is similar to an earlier provision of the Articles of Confederation: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

Interesting middle name he had. ;^)>
The war also transformed the Confederacy's central govt which has a result of the pressures of war reduced the sovereignty of their confederate states and attempted to centralize the war fighting effort of the states.
So in a sense, we as a nation have unfinished business regarding the true reason for the original Civil War...States’ Rights.
It was Lincoln who masked the real war in a moral struggle to end slavery but that was not what started the war. Self determination by the individual states was the true cause. That issue has yet to be resolved. Hence we are moving back to where we started. But this time, there is no moral high ground that trumps the true argument. The Federal Government will be hard pressed to defend the transgressions of our Constitution when push comes to shove.
And onward goes the march towards a one-world government... as the Bible says is coming...
Actually, one of the things that many may not have considered is that the successor to the *evil one-world government* of the Antichrist of the Bible — is — the *one-world government* and absolute ruler over all, Jesus Christ... :-)
In other words, no matter what, it’s going to be a “one-world government”...
Now you can argue state's rights means you can leave for any reason you want - a no fault divorce - if you will but that does take away the moral rectitude from the southern state's right claim somewhat.
That is an interesting tangent of thought.

Whoops! And thanks bamahead. My reply happened during the odd database problems we all experienced earlier this afternoon and evening.
almost a MILLION Americans DIED for his LUST for PERSONAL POWER & to make "his merry band of thugs, war profiteers & politicians" RICH.

Those 3 were/are also puppets of international banking cartels, money masters. The very people responsible for the current [attempted] takeover of this country. http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=NoneDare03&Entity=USCivilWar
fwiw, the revolution of our southern ancestors against our northeastern "masters" (the financial/social/intellectual/business ELITES) was a PEASANT REVOLT, led by a relative handful of professionals like Robert E. Lee & Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson.
that is one of the main reasons that our southern ancestors failed in their quest for FREEDOM. = peasant revolts seldom succeed. (the only one that i can think of offhand, that it can be argued that did succeed, was the Vietnamese revolution.)
had the south won, the southern "plantation aristocracy" might well have been NEXT on "the list of dixie's enemies", as they had in all too many cases collaborated with the invading DAMNyankee army. ( nature is unkind to TURNCOATS.)
