Agree…I grew up in TX as well. I travel to food manufacturing sites in my work. I could go to middle of nowhere TN, AL, or MS and generally confuse them for each other. Texas is very different fusion of culture. To call it southern would be to say it’s similar and that’s not the case.
@uriahz@dieworkwear Not out of the box. $2-3k with mixed gen parts sure. Saw some recent batches in hand. Easy tells on all. None of the factories polish the rehaut on Rolexes. None do the chamfering right. Fit and finish is a mess.
@theonlyembert@dieworkwear Or you buy a homage and avoid being a fraud. All roads lead to not being a fraud to be honest the path to being a fraud is a choice.
@Lorelei1861 And then Langdon saying essentially don’t make the federal government wait for a state invitation. The possibility of national force will help deter insurrections before they happen.
I interpret this as madison saying... a rebellion inside a state and a rebellion against the United States aren’t the same thing.
If rebels are fighting Virginia’s government, that’s one bucket. But if they’re fighting the authority of the Union, that’s a different bucket entirely.
This matters to me because Madison clearly didn’t see the U.S. as just some revocable club of states. The federal government had its own legitimate authority, and rebellion against it was a real thing, not just a state exercising a veto.
I shouldn’t have to cite quotes for those founders. Madison confidently and intentionally spoke about the resumption clause. We can cherry pick all we want.
And the British conspiracy is a fun one. Can’t tell me geopolitical manipulation started with the CIA. Whether they intended to or not they were in competition with the north in an industrialized race and losing their grip globally. Financing the south into disunion through cotton and slave asset backed loans is a fun one to speculate.
I’m well aware of the resumption clauses. Just another piece of the picture with vague lawyer speak that leaves open interpretation.
GW, Madison, Marshall, Hamilton, all held the Union above all. Andrew Jackson showed the earliest interpretation of the constitution as well regarding disunion.
Looks like we are just going to relive a 160 year old circular argument instead of agreeing that both sides had evidence to their claims.
@realcountry1953 I had family on both sides of the ACW. The average solider had a whole host of reasons that may have compelled them when duty called. No one with a deep understanding of the history would come to this conclusion to disparage individual soldiers let alone their own ancestor. 🤮
@ManifestHistory@jebsmith764 This was Andrew Jackson’s playbook from the nullification crisis.
“Disunion by armed force is treason”; and to John Calhoun during a toast he expressed “Our Federal Union, it must be preserved.”
I don’t think how Lincoln reacted was any different than what unionist AJ warned
Not like Lincoln had a true say. They left before he even took office. He offered to amend protections for existing slave states.
As Zachary Taylor said. “I had been taught to believe that the North was the aggressive section, but I found upon coming here that the South was the aggressor.”
