Usurp. That is what the southern state governments did. They tried to usurp the legitimate authority of the US government, and prevented it from collecting tariff duties that were its lawful due. Not to mention the theft of federal property at forts and arsenals.
Lies, theft, to continue their rights to torture and perversion. Such southern gentlemen.
Sir:
I have never seen so much bullsh*t spouted at one time.
As we say in Texas “Don’t p*ss down my back and tell me it’s raining!”
You seriously need to take an American History Course.
“They tried to usurp the legitimate authority of the US government, and prevented it from collecting tariff duties that were its lawful due.”
Tariff duties that disproportionately affected the Southern states. The Southern states contributed the lion’s share to the federal coffers, but the vast, vast majority of those revenues were spent up north. The South seceded because they were getting screwed economically.
About what I expect from someone from Granolaland. Get a grip, you know nothing of southern heritage or honor for that fact. And the comment on perversion?.....lol...this coming from someone from California.
