Hey if it was good enough for Georgre Washington, it was good enough for Jeff Davis. I suppose you support Nat Turner and Newt Knight too.

Never said they did, though there were some folks in Pennsylvania around 1863 who might have argued differently. Secesh did fire the first shot though. Too bad those fine Southern gentlemen were too dumb to try the courts first. I mean they had those “hand picked” judges you mentioned. Like with the Dred Scott decision.

“The South is invaded. It is time for all patriots to be united, to be under military organization, to be advancing to the conflict determined to live or die in defence of the God given right to own the African”
Richard Thompson Archer, in a letter to the Vicksburg Sun, Dec. 8, 1859.
Old Abe gave farmer Archer his God given rights, good and hard, that’s all.
