150 years ago today Texas seceded from the union

I realize that, but many people buy into the fact that the Souths sovrigenty was being threatend and that was the main reason for the war.



By whom the abolishonits? You mean the crazies who wanted equal rights?

States Rights work like this Strike.
Federal Government does something that some States don't want to abide by.
They say that it is their Right to not abide by it.
What that something is has changed many times over history, and during that particular time in History was what States Rights were defined by.
What I am saying is do not attack the issue of States Rights, because the proper balance between Federal and State power is a matter of much good debate, and should not be written off so easily.

The question of slavery and racial superiority is a moral one. The question of who decides is a States Rights issue. You know what I mean?

EDIT: And yes actually, it was the abolishinists who were threatening to seceed. Honestly, I think that it is a State's right, but that there has never been and probably will never be a reason to act so rashely, as problems are best solved by working with the Federal Government for the good of all states. Nonetheless though, I believe that it is a right garunteed by the Constitution. Tying that belief to racism is not ethical or honest.
