Yea and similar the native americans (a group i am part of) were vastly abused by the north and sided mostly with the south.
Usually the picture painted as the north as some hero for minorities and the south as a bunch of racists is a gross oversimplification... The truth is both sides were just racists fighting racists, as would be the case at that time in history when everything and everyone was racist.
@thatguyoverthere Oh I know, I didnt think it had to do with me... Just saying, just cause you or anyone said a thing doesnt mean the other side beleives it :) Or even that it was true
@Phil While you are right, they arent a dictator, they do still play a leadership role and can use their veto power for laws (didnt need to be an amendment) for example...
But yes he couldnt make the decision alone, he would have to simply promote a law or amendment, which he didnt even do that much at the time.
@muellershewrote Yea no... if you think this is solely in the hands of the GOP then you clearly are lost to any sense of understanding this...
The problem is just because something is "explained to you" doesnt mean that the person explaining it was right.
@threalist Yup, it was all the states that bordered the south but were in the north.
Though technically you could argue after the emancipation proclimation (since the north is the legal recognized government) the north was the only region left with slaves after that moment..
Of course the reality is more complex since southern states didnt recognize the authority. But at least from the perspective of the north, as the one true government, after that point slavery existed **only** in the north (legally).

i think lysander spooner put it quite fittingly
>If justice be not a natural principle, it is no principle at all. If it be not a natural principle, there is no such thing as justice. If it be not a natural principle, all that men have ever said or written about it, from time immemorial, has been said and written about that which had no existence. If it be not a natural principle, all the appeals for justice that have ever been heard, and all the struggles for justice that have ever been witnessed, have been appeals and struggles for a mere fantasy, a vagary of the imagination, and not for a reality.
>
>If justice be not a natural principle, then there is no such thing as injustice; and all the crimes of which the world has been the scene, have been no crimes at all; but only simple events, like the falling of the rain, or the setting of the sun; events of which the victims had no more reason to complain than they had to complain of the running of the streams, or the growth of vegetation.
>
>If justice be not a natural principle, governments (so-called) have no more right or reason to take cognizance of it, or to pretend or profess to take cognizance of it, than they have to take cognizance, or to pretend or profess to take cognizance, of any other nonentity; and all their professions of establishing justice, or of maintaining justice, or of rewarding justice, are simply the mere gibberish of fools, or the frauds of imposters.
>
>But if justice be a natural principle, then it is necessarily an immutable one; and can no more be changed—by any power inferior to that which established it—than can the law of gravitation, the laws of light, the principles of mathematics, or any other natural law or principle whatever; and all attempts or assumptions, on the part of any man or body of men—whether calling themselves governments, or by any other name—to set up their [PAGE 12] own commands, wills, pleasure, or discretion, in the place of justice, as a rule of conduct for any human being, are as much an absurdity, an usurpation, and a tyranny, as would be their attempts to set up their own commands, wills, pleasure, or discretion in the place of any and all the physical, mental, and moral laws of the universe.
Interesting fact of the day: Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation **only** freed the southern slaves and kept the north slaves legal and enslaved. It was a sort "screw you to the south" more so than to abolish slavery.
Lincoln only supported and pushed through the 13th amendment once slavery was voluntarily abolished at the state level first.
@Miriamm I have pointed out many times how if i find ads for a product intrustive I will make it a point not to buy that product.
Hit me up if you have any questions. I am pretty happy with it. It is the first solution that works the way I feel comfortable.
My issue with other solutions is either they had access and the ability to get to my data (like lastpass) or I didnt feel the backup options were good enough (either id have to backup traditionally or to a cloud... this uses git so i get all my revisions and history kept and my backup is still cloud hosted but encrypted and secure)
My state has had realID for a while. But even now when you go get an ID you dont get a realID unless you go out of your way to get it (and takes more effort)... I just renewed my license 2 months ago and it isnt a realID
No matter how bad the oliharchy is doesnt change how bad Trump is. Then you go on to talk about Bush and clinton... thats alot of words for "other things suck"... ok.. how does other things sucking have **any relevance to how much Trump sucks?
@garyackerman I guess they think students will use it to cheat?
I have no access to TV or cable... so first principles is the only answer
