Forgotten Lessons from the Nullification Crisis

Good video. I wish people would pay close attention to this part:


It also makes a for a neat segway into the conflict that erupted 30 years later along the same fault lines of federal vs state authority, providing for a convenient to dismiss, without debate, those who call for nullification today, by linking them to slavery and the antebellum south...at least in the eyes of the historically ignorant public. Yet from the fugitive slave laws, to real ID, American history is replete with examples of states successfully defending their sovereignty in constitutional disputes with the federal government.

The author of this video does a good job of de-linking nullification from the slavery issue by virtually ignoring the civil war! Besides, many of the southern secessionists were the very ones pushing for enforcement of the abominable fugitive slave laws. So what was originally a pure issue of state sovereignty under the "nullification crisis" became a muddied issue of state sovereignty versus individual freedom to placate the interests of slave holders. In a way we are repeating history when we "go along to get along" with teacons who actually support many of the same things we are against including Real ID. So one lesson we need to be careful not to forget "Don't spoil your message just to increase your numbers."
