You want to know how to get a big silent reaction out of them, point out to them that Jefferson Davis had no problem putting down secessionist movements within the CSA.

Before it was the CSA the slave-holding South was built around violating the fuck out of everyone’s civil liberties w/r/t the issue of slavery.

Rights relating to speech? Religion? Press? Unlawful search and seizure? Cruel and unusual punishment?

Not if you were a suspected abolitionist.
