<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 231890, member: 4381&quot;]This is beyond the allowable content of this forum but since this is such a grave issue I&#039;ll respond.</p><p><br /></p><p>Daggonjon - your WRONG.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t taught this.&nbsp; It is a fact substantiated by the historical and bloody record.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is no issue between the states at that time, or any time in American History, which caused the bloodshed that cumulated into the Civil War ***OTHER THAN*** slavery.&nbsp; Nobody shed the blood of their husbands and brothers for a trariff.&nbsp; The whole states rights argument was brought forward by John Calhoun and wrapped about the Governments neck like a bat in order to protect ***SLAVERY***.</p><p><br /></p><p>No Slavery, no Civil War, no Bleeding Kansas, No Dread Scott Decision, No Nullification Theory, no bloody battle over the Fugitive Slave Laws, no Beecher Ward undergrand railroad, no Civil War.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every other fight in the Civil War and leading TO the Civil War was a proxy battle over Slavery.&nbsp; And once the North build railroads to the West ending the South&#039;s economic stranglehold on Western expanition through the use of Slavery over Free Labor, the Slavery issue was a done deal based on its moral decryptitude.</p><p><br /></p><p>This nation could not have continued to go on with Slavery, and this nation was not getting rid of Slavery in the south without bloodshed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless you want to really propose that in 2007 that in some kind of alternate fantasy view of history, that we ***could*** have had slavery and survived as a nation today, then your points about tarrifs is utter junk, and should be viewed as the racist clap trap revisonist view of history that it is.&nbsp; This is not to say that your racist, but you need to unravel that revisionist history and expose it for what it is, propaganda by racists to fuel populalar support for the Civil War among other racists, and the papering over the results and causes of the war to pacify racists TODAY.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
