To be clear, it was the right of states to not enforce slavery

Yeah, no that's backwards. If anything, it was about the right of states to enforce slavery.

No, the confederate constitution directly takes away states rights on the subject of slavery.

Article 1. Section 9.

  1. No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairring the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

Right, so they can enforce slavery...? I don't think we're disagreeing.

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

It means states have absolutely no choice but to enforce slavery. E.g. their rights have been removed.

Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

RULES

  1. No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.

  2. No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

  3. Follow all Piefed.social rules
