You mean slavery?

So.....there's a God given right to enslave other people?
You're into history so you know as well as everyone else, who's into history, that the main reason for the war was the South's refusal to give up slavery:idea:
........but then you complain about the human rights violations of the FED:uhoh:
Human rights violations are human rights violations. It doesn't matter who commits them. If we ever expect to be taken seriously about gun rights there's one thing that we definitely have to be, and that'sconsistent.

that still doesn't prove anything. Yes, the Confederate forces were forced to surrender, but that doesn't negate theprinciples for which they fought.
As for Secession not being specifically prohibited, BUT...
simply put, there is not BUT. as far as Constitution is concerned, Federal authority STOPS at the constitution. If it isn't expressly delegated to the FED, or expressly prohibited from teh States, then the FED has no constitutional background in the matter, period. end of story.
This is why we have the overgrown Federal beauracracy that so many complain about now. So many people are absolutely ignorant of what the constitution says, that they allow the FED to trample all over the constitution.
in truth, probably at least 70 percent of the federal agencies currently draining the treasury coffers are both unconstitutional,and completely unnecessary, but out of concerns of "safety", "national security" and other terms used to persuade the sheep, the FED gets away with whatever they want.
The only thing that the War of Northern aggression proved is that if the FED had no problem killing innocent civillians for excercising their God God given rights in 1865. I personally wonder how much of a problem they would have now. If athief breaks into your house and kills you after you attempt to defend yourself, does that make him right? should he be allowed to keep your house because he had greater might? well that is exactly the scenario that you are supporting when you imply that just because the FED invaded the South that they were right.
