Not wanting to get into a civil war argument that will never be settled, I still don’t understand why the North would not “allow” the South to seceed. You can spout all kinds of crap but the bottom line is they needed the agriculture to survive.

And one more thing, your rambling doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to this “dumb old red neck racist sister marryin’ hillbilly southerner”. And I still will not welcome you to Texas when we get the hell out of your union.

All well and good. But why introduce slavery into Kansas, undoing the Missouri Compromise in the process? Why demand that slavery be legal in every single state of the Union? Why deny the right of states to prohibit it or refuse to protect it? That doesn't sound like "states' rights" to me. It sounds like a federal power grab.

You didn't read my initial post to you, did you?

Have you ever heard of West Virginia? Of East Tennessee? Of Jones County, Mississippi? Of the Hurst Nation in West Tennessee? Of the Heroes of America in western North Carolina?

If you can refuse to believe I am a Southerner, I can refuse to believe you are a hillbilly. The hillbillies were almost uniformly pro-Union and anti-Confederate, all the way down to Georgia and Alabama. The Confederacy was the cause of rich, bourbon swilling, cigar smoking, gambling planter elite. Poor whites were nothing to them but "patter rollers" to keep their slaves in line. And if you doubt this, you obviously don't know that the venomous hatred Blacks have always held for the poorest of whites was taught to them by Ole Massa.

Not being a Slave Power Centralizer, I won't ask you to do so.

This is just a funny comment.

After all the federal dollars that Texas eats up dry up post secession, Haiti will be more attractive.
