"What Do You Want Me To Say About Slavery"? Bye Nikki

[Curried Goats]

I never have a problem with it

You're a proud slaver lover are you? You don't do the weak ass States Rights pretend bullshit?

The primary right they were defending, in addition to taxation, was slavery, but the reason they seceded was that fact they they didn’t feel they have the ability to govern itself and that the federal government had overstepped its authority. They seceeded due to what they felt was a breach of contract regarding states rights. One of those rights was most certainly the institution of slavery.

The Cornerstone of the new Confederate government according to its VP.

 

[Mac-7]

The Cornerstone. Or do you disagree with the Confederacy's VP?

He did not speak for everyone

The Confederacy could not raise an army if slavery was the only reason for secession

 

[Woodznutz]

That is as irrational an argument as the one that suggests morality is subjective to time when it's a creation of human beings. The Founders absolutely wanted to deal in slavery. The Founders in fact dealt in slavery. 41 out the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence owned slaves as did 17 of 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention.

I'm looking for rational arguments gentlemen. Can any of you produce one?

I said "with", not "in".

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Ten of the eleven states cited slavery as a major reason by the legislatures for leaving the Union.

 

[cnm]

He did not speak for everyone

He certainly spoke for his government.

 

[cnm]

He did not speak for everyone

The Confederacy could not raise an army if slavery was the only reason for secession

But it obviously could raise an army if slavery was the cornerstone of their new government. I mean, we have the evidence.

Nikki Haley on Wednesday was asked about the cause of the Civil War, and her reply went viral in the worst way.

Slavery was not THE cause for the Civil War?

Hey Nikki, repeat after me: It - Was - About - Slavery

Great question. It should be asked over and over again to all of the candidates, so the country can watch them cringe as they answer ir it wrong.

Haha, "what do you want me to say?".....? Really?

When people are abnormal, they have a hard time finding and recognizing normal behavior.

 

[Curried Goats]

I said "with", not "in".

What's the distinction you're trying to make? A rhetorical one? If you can be honest enough to acknowledge that many of them dealt "in" slaves then it should be clear why they had little interest in dealing "with" slavery. Your original argument appeared to suggest the Founders put off dealing with slavery because it was too difficult an issue rather than because many of them were profiting off of it themselves.

 

[Mac-7]

You're a proud slaver lover are you? You don't do the weak ass States Rights pretend bullshit?

No

If it were up to me no black slave would have ever set foot on American soil or the entire New World

But dont confuse me with a guilt-ridden white lib

Because I am driven entirely by self interest

Without slavery there would be very few black people in America today and race riots would be unknown

Is it legal?

 

[Curried Goats]

No

Without slavery you very well may not have a country today.

Not a Nikki Haley fan but this one thing she has right.
the Civil War was about state's rights not slavery. Still would not vote for her

What embarrassing nonsense. Damn we are a stupid country.

 

[TheParser]

Yes, she was remiss when she failed to simply say, "The Civil War was about the South wanting to keep its 'peculiar institution' " (as one modern author has called it).

And no Democrat or Republican has the guts to admit that all Americans in 2023 are being punished by the consequences of what started in that fateful year of 1619. (Darn those colonists!!!)

 

[RetiredGySgt]

What embarrassing nonsense. Damn we are a stupid country.

Yup states' rights, the specific right was slavery.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yup states' rights, the specific right was slavery.

Yes, the right to own people. Normal people understand that was the issue, not States' rights. We didn't fight a war simply over different laws in different states.

 

[White 6]

what was "wrong" about the answer? Anyone who imagines that slavery was the only reason for the Civil War is wrong

Anyone who imagines that slavery was not the major part of the reason for the Civil War is fooling only themself.

 

[cnm]

. We didn't fight a war simply over different laws in different states.

Well, Lincoln fought it to maintain the Union.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Effectively, the South did.

Not "simply" over different laws. That's like saying we fought world war II because people are mean.
