re: #199 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

Part 2 is a bit overstated, but the way that they managed to simultaneously insist on States Rights and the Fugitive Slave Act was a massively evil thing.

I was thinking mainly of the wonderful bits where CSA ideology made race-based slavery out to be a positive good in accordance with the laws of nature and God’s will.

The hypocrisy of state’s rights vs. the fugitive slave act is comparatively small potatoes.

See, for example, the cornerstone speech: en.wikipedia.org
