Well this seems to have engendered a bit of discussion. I think we can all agree that slavery is a bad thing, whatever role it had as a component of the war between the states. I also think we can agree that a major component was a resistance by the southern states to dictates from a large federal government. The southern states never wanted to take over the federal government, they just wanted to be left alone to govern themselves......what a heretical thought. Unfortunately the usurpation of states rights by the federal government just seems to continue. Although the recent decision by Alabama to allow concealed carry permit holders to carry on state rest area property (against federal dictates for gun restrictions) seems to be a sign of hope.
