After an annoying popup, this story from Daily Kos seems to be a case of tearing the judge's comments to pieces. He said that Lincoln sent federal marshals out to capture and return escaped slaves to the south. The story is @ Jon Stewart has 3 history professors rip apart Fox's Andrew Napolitano's slavery*revisionism
Well, I decided to see for myself and did a Google search on the subject. Here's the link to the search @ https://www.google.com/search?clien...caped+slaves&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 and it provides some interesting results. Among them:
Whitman, Dickinson, and the Fugitive Slave Law it empowered federal marshals to compel slaves to be returned to their owners? Isn't that what the judge said?
Lincoln and His World
So, the question is: Did these liberal professors really debunk Judge Napolitano's remarks or not? IMHO, once again, the judge was right on the spot and no amount of liberal spin is going to change that.
