More democrat posturing. That sign doesn’t mean anything to me. Perhaps some of the freedom folks down there could put up a Declaration of Independence plaque. Wouldn’t that be something?

Preserving slavery was part of many southern states secession declarations and constitutions. Democrats absolutely wanted to keep their free labor.

Well, at least 3% did.

Historic accuracy: Zero.

Aesthetic value: Zero.

Significance due to it being a product of the actual time it purports to commemorate: Zero.

Actual memorialization of actual brave people: Zero.

Attempt to revise history: Heavy and obvious.

Melt it down and make candlesticks out of it.

It was not the primary cause, slavery would have been safer if they had remained in the union.

You have a counter-argument? No. You can't even fathom that the chances of the Union passing a pro-slavery amendment to a constitution that still allowed slavery were: Zero.

The counter argument is painstakingly laid out in the threads I bumped about the civil war, read them and learn, I'm not going to let you waste my time re-fighting the war of northern aggression.

The Corwin amendment would have passed just as prohibition passed.
