NullifyAndSecede 12 points ago +13 / -1

That is exactly my point. wtf do you think our founders would have done if a state tried to secede.

What do you think the redcoats would do if we told the king to fuck off?

Thanks for agreeing with me on no peaceful solutions to secession. If we tell the feds to fuck off, then it will be war.

What I am giving are realpolitik solutions to our problems.

Your solutions are not solutions. Just misguided attempts to regain our freedom only for it to be taken away again when your counties are crushed by the military.

You can thank Lincoln for that....HE started that war, and he used lots of Socialist Tricks to keep the Southers from receiving any real help..... The Results are SUBJUGATED Southern States, but because the Fed Constitution says that ALL States are to be EQUAL, what we have is ALL State Subjugated under the Federal Government, and Justice, is now Criminal....

Southern revisionist history. The southern elite had their slave owning way of life threatened by industrialization, because it was cheaper than slavery. Their second hissy fit was tariffs on foreign goods, because they were cheaper than the budding industry of the north which would have been wiped out otherwise. They then duped good men and women into fighting a war on their behalf, which they started by firing on Fort Sumpter.

 

If the south was about state’s rights they wouldn’t have been kidnapping free blacks from the north nor would they have banned states from outlawing slavery upon forming the confederacy.
