    Slavery was, by far, the biggest issue. Basically, it came down to whether or not slavery would be allowed to be expanded into new territories. The abolitionists hated slavery, but, in the interests of preserving the union, were willing to live with a compromise under which slavery was allowed to continue where it was, but couldn't be expanded to new territories. The confederates, however, would not compromise. For a while, the Union held together, because the pro-slavery factions held the presidency, with Democrats Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. As long as they were winning, they stuck around. Then they lost, though, when Lincoln was elected and so they decided to try to murder some of our troops at Fort Sumter, and the war was on.

    Although the confederates made it very clear it was about slavery at the time, after their defeat the "Lost Cause" myth was built up, insisting it was about something else. Generally, it was states rights they talked about. Of course, that was bullshit. The pro-slavery people were happy to stomp all over states rights in the interests of slave-owners. For example, they wanted the slave status of fugitives from the south to stick with them, such that it overrode state law in the free states. They were quite happy when judges on the Supreme Court ruled to that effect, notwithstanding the fact it undermined the sovereignty of the free states and constituted a huge federal infringement. Further invalidating the states-rights argument about the war was the fact the Confederacy was quicker than the Union to embrace big-government interventions in the war effort, like a draft and central government controls on the economy. Again, so long as it was in furtherance of the interests of slave owners, states rights could be dispensed with.

    are you that much of a clueless braindead idiot who can't follow the ideas of the founders? and WE are not governed by the constitution. The GOVERNMENT is governed by the constitution.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    so all you can do is point and say 'the supreme court said so' and that's good enough for you? you don't bother to try and understand their constitutional logic on why they came to that decision?

    Redictio ad absurdum:
    the reason we know SCOTUS gets it wrong sometimes is, SCOTUS has reversed itself. So the question then becomes, were you wrong then? Or are you wrong now?
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    This is why it's so very important for all people to read and understand the constitution instead of letting government and lawyers tell you what it means. only lazy people say that the supreme court is the final arbiter of what is and isn't constitutional. They didn't write it, we the people wrote it and we the people have the ultimate power over the laws and the constitution by using jury nullification, or even states nullifying federal law.
