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.

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.
I call bullshit on the southern states as bastions of state's rights. They had no issue with federal dictates when it benefitted them.
Very much like our civil rights leaders today. They don't care about civil rights, just there civil rights, and the ACLU who only care about the civil liberties of liberals.
I have to agree on that one... Recently a Florida airport installed a Muslim prayer room at the airport, the same one that was sued to remove Christmas decorations and a chapel by the ACLU. I have to wonder if the Muslim prayer room replaced the Christian chapel. Where is the lawsuit to remove this religious site from public property under the guise of separation on Church and State, or does that only apply to Christian organizations?
