re: #435 keloyd

I think he means when a section of the country that was under the economic thumb of the North tried to leave the union, as was it’s right under the Constitution, being a living, breathing document, then was crushed by the North, including 4 slave states, then we’re told they were the good guys 6 generations later, even though the Emancipation Proclamation only outlawed slavery in the rebelling states, even tho de facto, the union army enslaved many runaways.

Also, my maternal grandmother knew people who were witnesses to Sherman’s war crimes. You don’t need 6 degrees like Kevin BAcon for this one, I can get there in 2.

Devil his due - “states’ rights” for the last 70 years has been a dog whistle for some pretty vile stuff.

What’s your point?
