It was about Lincoln being elected in a brokered convention without a single Southern vote.

Daily reminder that slavery was ended without a war literally everywhere else in the world.

Why didn't they just let the Confederates go? If we formed a Union once, we could have done it again in time. There was no need for brother to kill brother. They should have dealt with the southern states as friends and equals instead of subjugating them.

Slavery would have died out in time as it did everywhere else. It should never have gotten to that point, but even after seccession war was not necessary.

I fucking hate this argument so much.

The reason slavery was ended everywhere else peacefully is because there wasn't any middle class anywhere else. In Britain and it's colonies there was only high ranking nobles/viceroys who didn't NEED slaves. Take the Boers for example, they were poor/mid people who needed slaves, so they fled the Cape colony. The south was poor/mid people who needed slavery too, so they fled the Union.

In a pre-Civil War context, where the states were the primary unit of government, it could be argued that Fort Sumter was located in a state the seceded and thus the garrison was obligated to abandon the fort or swear allegiance to the confederacy.

By holding the fort in land that no longer belonged to them, the garrison was like a tenant forcibly resisting eviction, and thus in the wrong.

The North would have been fucking fine if the South had left, as Northerners never cease to point out.

The house divided argument isn't based on the north can't function.

OK, let's say the North DOES try to allow for secession.
You mention that the South Wasn't in a position to contest the US in westward expansion.

Presumably, this means because in the vent of a military contest, the north would win. Does this mean that the South would drop all claims to westward expansion, AND actively seek to prevent westward immigration? Was it even capable of doing that?

Trans people are mentally ill. They should be treated with love and compassion. They need professional help, not the rest of society indulging their delusions. We don't humor people who think they are the reincarnation of Napoleon or an adopted alien from Andromeda. We get them help.

I'm an NC anon. There was never any problem, no incidents, no controversy at all over this. This whole bathroom bill started with liberal fuckwits lobbying for trans subsidy nonsense. So we tried to do the most neutral thing we could possibly think of to settle the issue - use the bathroom on your birth certificate. I honestly cannot think of a more reasonable position.

I thought the whole thing was silly and stupid we had to have a law in the first place. But nobody really cared about it until it became a national sensation and the feds are trying to tell us what to do now. Fuck all of this.

This is the kind of shit that keeps old grudges alive. They're tearing down Confederate war memorials, constantly calling us stupid redneck racists, dictating the most asinine shit to us like this trans crap.

Except that the Declaration of Independence is not a US government document, merely a historical document created by the 13 colonies. It cannot be used to legally justify secession. It actually concurs with the SCOTUS decision, which is that secession is only attainable through mutual consent of all the states or via violent, successful rebellion. There is no legal method for peaceful and unilateral secession.

>>1132930
>legal grey area

Seeing as Madison openly condemned it in 1828, and Hamilton called the union indissoluble and permanent in one of his Federalist papers, I'd say even pre-war it was a bit of a fringe theory. Shit, even Andrew Jackson thought secession was nuts. At the very least, the South shouldn't have expected the North to accept their actions as legal, given the lack of clarity on the issue.

There's perverts all over the place in society.

This solution is so utterly simple yet people love to complicate it because somehow telling someone that there's a very easy rule to follow is oppression now.

It was over slavery, but only because the north knew banning it would fuck the south far worse than the north, so would over all put them in a better position.

It was never about the north being altruistic.

i dont get why slaves all of a sudden slavery became a huge issue in the 1860s. Slaves have always existed throughout every culture. The biggest slave traders were in fact the Arabs. Also being a slave didnt mean you couldn't one day become a freeman. In Rome slaves could one day aspire at becoming citizens. Even the Bible talks about being good slaves. Today slavery is just working at poverty wage nothing changed.

It was about localizing the power to the federal government. At least that's why the war was fought. Slavery was the number one issue, but the whole order was states rights. Anyone can see that.

>>
>>1134617
I never argued for the "states rights" reason. Really that's just an oversimplified east to digest version for modern inbreds to complain about the war without really knowing anything. Technically "states rights" is part of the issue but it the whole issue would be the conflict between the Jeffersonian ideologies of the South compared to the Hamiltonian ideologies of the North which both had differing ideas as to the role of the state and the basis of the economy. Eventually they both would become so isolated politically from the other that remaining in the same government wouldn't work, so one side would have to come on top. It's not a matter of morals and justification as it is how inevitable it was for a war to break out.

Slavery was included as the central position of the Southern rebellion since slavery was seen as the only way the Southern Jeffersonian economy could continue to compete with the Northern industrial economy without themselves having to be integrated into each other. It's not that it was right but again the justification is irrelevant. It's all about the state models.
>>
>>1134652
You mean like the individual states retaining their rights to determine what property can and can't be owned?

No matter how you cut and carved the slavery issue, it can always route back to states rights.

Also that's the reason the south got into the war.... all in all the north was the aggressor, why did they attack the south? Sure as hell Wasn't for the niggers they didn't even free them selves till well after the war. Sure as hell wasn't to keep the south from continuing slavery. Naive to think so. It was about controlling the economy from a federal level.

Probably not.... but you could replace that with any other confiscation of goods and with the same surrounding events, with the same outcome, I believe...
It didn't have to be slaves... but there was an opportunity for it to be that way, and it was.

What if one political party took complete control.... and then confiscated the properties of the other party, or was intending to. The reason given is for slaves rights..... but the north had slaves, and didn't free them for quite a while after the war, and even then segregation was around for a while aswell. So it wasn't exactly a humanitarian cause.

the real problem was that the federal government did what ever the fuck it wanted with out care of what individual states wanted, that's not how the US was supposed to work.... there was the constitution, which was the supreme law of the land - ammended only in extreme cases, and then there was state's laws. Well the federal government was looking to ban slavery, which they didnt really have the power to do... so they took it. majority simply agreed. doesnt make it right, or wrong, what the north did, but i can definitely see why the south reacted the way they did.
>>
It was about state's rights. It was specifically about the right of states to decide for themselves whether or not they could own slaves. Yes, the South used States Rights as an argument to further perpetuate slavery, but we did the exact same thing during the Revolutionary War; we used traditional English Rights and Traditions to justify not paying taxes to Parliament. Rights have always been used selfishly to further the gains of a group. That's why they were developed in the first place.

isnt the notion that a state formed and maintained by its people can decide on questions that relate to their economic and social functioning the most obvious meaning of 'states rights'

isnt slavery one such question?
>>

yes but most people cant understand that a humanitarian issue falls under an economic one as well. They think its slavery because that's what it literally was... but they werent pissed because they couldnt own people anymore, they were pissed they couldnt make people work for "free"

but it realy was a fucked up way for washington to unilateraly go about things

i mean its not like there was no lobying interest group that knew abolition would economicaly ruin the south and they could buy it all up and exploit it any way they choose, its not like that simple fact wasnt obvious

then look what happened after the war, like even decades after, systemic destruction, exploitation, pauperisation and ruralisation of the south, same as in italy after garibaldi

>"nothing has ever presented so threatening an aspect as what is called the Missouri question. the Federalists compleatly put down, and despairing of ever rising again under the old division of whig and tory, devised a new one, of slave-holding, & non-slave-holding states, which, while it had a semblance of being Moral, was at the same time Geographical, and calculated to give them ascendancy by debauching their old opponents to a coalition with them. Moral the question certainly is not, because the removal of slaves from one state to another, no more than their removal from one county to another, would never make a slave of one human being who would not be so without it.... for if Congress once goes out of the Constitution to arrogate a right of regulating the condition of the inhabitants of the states, it’s majority may, and probably will next declare that the condition of all men within the US. shall be that of freedom. in which case all the whites South of the Patomak and Ohio must evacuate their states; and most fortunate those who can do it first. and so far this crisis seems to be advancing.

>“So I supposed. That agrees with what I hear by letter. Well, I am very sorry for it. Our people here will not retreat; they will accept a war, first. If you preserve the Union, it must be by conquest. I suppose you can do it, if you try hard enough. The North is a great deal stronger than the South; it can desolate it,—crush it. But I hope it won’t be done … Our people believe that the States are independent and have a right to recede from the Confederation without asking its leave. With few exceptions, all agree on that; it is honest, common public opinion. The South Carolinians sincerely think that they are exercising a right, and you may depend that they will not be reasoned nor frightened out of it; and if the North tries coercion, there will be war. I don’t say this defiantly, but sadly, and merely because I want you to know the truth” - Charleston Citizen January 1861

People are so quick to forget the motivation of Confederate soldiers. They weren't fighting because they were willing to throw away their lives, their son's lives, and all their worldly possessions to keep the black man down. They were fighting because the rich men who control the economy and governments of their states left the USA and brought this war upon them and their homes would be burned, land salted, and children slaughtered if they didn't fight.
