The Federal government prolonged slavery by denying free states the right to recognize fugitive slaves as free men.
It was the Federal government that denied the states the right to HAVE slaves, moron.

Correct, and to prolong it by allowing slave states to endure and deny free states to consider slaves free men.
Never heard of the Fugitive Slave Act?It was the Federal government that denied the states the right to HAVE slaves, moron.

Bullshit.
The Constitution was a gift from the founders, who could have formed any government they wanted to, to protect citizens from government.
That's not jingoism or statism.
The "aging population" moves to states which were not taxing their retirements away from them.

One of the best cases of- and argument for- state interposition/nullification in American history.
Nobody said that.Never heard of the Fugitive Slave Act?Bullshit.

Of course I've heard of it. To leap from it to claim that slavery would have somehow disappeared more quickly if the federal government had gotten out of the way is retarded.

Yes, Revere did. He said the Fugitive Slave Act (or his reference to it) prolonged slavery
Wasn't he the one who changed 'subjects' to 'citizens', paving the way for the denial of civil rights to blacks by declaring them to be non-citizens?The framers weren't real big on slavery. The short story is the southern delegates wanted slavery, the northern delegates didn't. The north caved to the south because they felt at the time it was more important to pose a united front against the British and they could always come back and revisit slavery later, which we did, but probably not the way they would have wanted.
Exactly. Thomas Jefferson found himself in a quandry in writing about Liberty when there were fellow humans in Bondage by a few of the Founders themselves...including himself.
The census showed people moving from blue states to red states. It does not show those people becoming Republicans.
Much of the increase in population in Florida, Texas and Arizona are Hispanic Americans...they are not too happy with the Republicans based on recent legislation

It was a prolonging factor.
He also recognized that the fed helped end/prevent slavery in some places while prolonging it in others.
Unlike you, he's not so stupid as to assume things are always as simple as black and white. The federal government's various actions had varying effects in different territories, but it is doubtless that the failure to take a hardline approach to ending slavery prolonged it in those territories where it was not only permitted, but enforced by the federal government even when one escaped the slave states- the Fugitive Slave Act being case-in-point.
See post 62
Why should we care what they envisioned any more than what FDR, King George, Taft, Hitler, Lincoln, or anyone else envisioned?1. The Founders envisioned
Gawd, you're an idiot.
If you can't tell the difference between the people who wrote The Constitution and Hitler, you really need help.
Get some.
