Do a self search. It shows plainly in nearly every one of your posts.
Let me ask you a straight question walt. Do you honestly believe that there is anyone on either side of the north-south debate here who doesn't realize that your method of cut & paste historical revisionism is a tongue in cheek exercize in pure BULLSH*T?
The north-south debate has been going on since before the war & will continue through the forseeable future. You add nothing to the debate but contrived fantasy & as such don't require intellegent response. Post on...
Show it.
Is this statement taken out of context:
"I do not conceive we can exist long as a nation, without having lodged somewhere a power which will pervade the whole Union in as energetic a manner, as the authority of the different state governments extends over the several states. To be fearful of vesting Congress, constituted as that body is, with ample authorities for national purposes, appears to me to be the very climax of popular absurdity and madness."
George Washington to John Jay, 15 August 1786
How about these:
"We may then infer, that the people of the United States intended to bind the several states, by the legislative power of the national government...Whoever considers, in a combined and comprehensive view, the general texture of the constitution, will be satisfied that the people of the United States intended to form themselves into a nation for national purposes." And: "Here we see the people acting as the sovereigns of the whole country; and in the language of sovereignty, establishing a Constitution by which it was their will, that the state governments should be bound, and to which the State Constitutions should be made to conform."
--Chisholm v. Georgia, 1793
Well?
Show they are taken out of context.
