Knock off the ‘legal’ and ‘elected’ crap. In the end SLAVERY-THAT CAUSE is enough to justify steps taken against the movement for it to expand and continue. And you continue to want to deflect away from the issue OF ENSLAVEMENT that was ‘legal’ in this country. It was LEGAL to murder, rape, brutalize and kidnap their children at the master’s will. The issue is slavery, period. YOU FAIL. And you continue to show you will not face THE ISSUE that was the cause of John Brown because it is INDEFENSIBLE.

Whether or not the US government could do anything about it is a debatable issue.

Whether John Brown on his own decision could do something about it is not debatable.

You are advocating the right of anyone to commit murder as they see fit based on their own decision of what is moral without reference to anyone else. The same exact rationale that all terrorists use from ELF to Bin Laden to justify their murders.

You advocate anarchy.

Your argument would be better received at a site that advocates "higher law" rather than one that advocates republican ideals.

tell everyone, "OH, Great Oracle", : HOW do you feel about the YANKEE slave-OWNERS that planned to FREE the slaves that were owned by southerners and KEEP the ones that they owned in the south & elsewhere in this hemisphere (after the WBTS was over)???

was THAT slave-owning "A-OK" with you???

fwiw, NOBODY in the USA/CSA had "clean hands" on this issue. NOBODY!
