You can't claim the Confederacy was about State's Rights when one of the first things they did was prohibit States in their Confederacy from ending the practice of slavery. At least not without getting laughed and pointed at as you are here and nationally.In 1860 slavery was legal in the US, therefore a state right. The democrats seized on it
Back up, regroup and try again
An OrdinanceEvery State that left the Union cited slavery as a reason in their statements on why they left.
who?I know. Isn't it great? It's the same problem they all have, and every debate moderator should hang it around their necks like a dead albatross.
and they CONSISTENTLY had no other reasons?It is the one consistent reason the states leaving the union all gave in their Declarations of succession

It's the same problem they all have, and every debate moderator should hang it around their necks like a dead albatross.

Want to really confuse her? Ask her opinion on the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
the state right they were upset about was slavery.Goat Breath is still flummoxed about state's rights
the state right they were upset about was slavery.
Do you think that helps your cause? Any rational reading of that would note the oppression of southern slave holding states to be the cause for wanting to leave.An Ordinance
To repeal the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, by the State of Virginia, and to resume all the rights and powers granted under said Constitution.
The people of Virginia, in their ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, adopted by them in Convention, on the twenty-fifth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, having declared that the powers granted under the said Constitution, were derived from the people of the United States, and might be resumed whensoever the same should be perverted to their injury and oppression; and the Federal Government having perverted said powers, not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern slaveholding States.
Now, therefore, we the people of Virginia, do declare and ordain,That the ordinance adopted by the people of this State in Convention, on the twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight, whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified; and all acts of the General Assembly of this State ratifying or adopting amendments to said Constitution, are hereby repealed and abrogated; that the Union between the State of Virginia and the other States under the Constitution aforesaid is hereby dissolved, and that the State of Virginia is in the full possession and exercise of all the rights of sovereignty, which belong and appertain to a free and independent State.
And they do further declare,That said Constitution of the United States of America is no longer binding on any of the Citizens of this State.
This ordinance shall take effect and be an act of this day when ratified by a majority of the votes of the people of this State, cast at a poll to be taken thereon, on the fourth Thursday in May next, in pursuance of a Schedule hereafter to be enacted
Done in Convention in the City of Richmond, on the seventeenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, and in the eighty-fifth year of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In Virginia it was just mentioned in passing, as Virginia was a slave-owning state, not as the reason.
So, the states left because of SLAVERY.No shit Sherlock. Slavery was legal, get around that then proceed
There are far more "slaves" today than in 1860.
Unfortunately a significant amount are children in the most hideous and vulgar way
So, the states left because of SLAVERY.
If you had studied history you could tell us what these other issues were.It was more than that. Slavery being one issue among issues
Study history then come back
If you had studied history you could tell us what these other issues were.
I educated you you idiot. The Confederacy used its federal power to deprive its individual States of the right to end the practice of slavery within their own State borders. True or false?Economic imbalance, federal vs state, moral issues and slavery.
Now, jackass YOU, get educated

Great question. It should be asked over and over again to all of the candidates, so the country can watch them cringe as they answer ir it wrong.
Maybe the fact that Haley have a whole lot of reasons in that rambling answer except slavery. That reason was completely absent.what was "wrong" about the answer? Anyone who imagines that slavery was the only reason for the Civil War is wrong
what "everything" does it tell me?----did she claim to have delivered EVERY reason for theMaybe the fact that Haley have a whole lot of reasons in that rambling answer except slavery. That reason was completely absent.
