How can a State Governor, sworn to uphold the Constitution of the US and of his State, honestly believe that slavery is not one of the civil war issues that was “most significant for Virginia”?
I say he cannot, and therefore I say he is dishonest and is in violation of his oath of office which he swore on January 16, 2010.
