The citizens of the North could give two shits about the condition of the slaves, in fact there was more than one race riot in Northern cities because of the influx of ex slaves who would work at wages that undercut prevailing wages in those cities.

    It is absolute hypocrisy on the part of most liberals that only the Southern whites hated the slaves for the simple reason they were black. Southern whites didn't hate slaves anymore than they hated their plow horses because they saw them as the same.

    Wonder why there are no books or articles about the plight of the ex slave in the North before and after the War Between the States.

    bullshit, you are a liar. They were built to intimidate blacks you sleazy liar.

    I can believe that to some degree. He's the type that thinks the government should do for him what he's unwilling to do for himself.

    I disagree, requiring one group of people to sit in a certain section of the bus just because of their skin color cannot become more unjust.

    Not the only time he's made tough guy claims then ran into hiding. He'll pop back up, run his dick sucker about what he can do, then go back into hiding when expected to do it.
    I see that your upstairs tenant moved out years ago.

    It's safe to say that the southern states seceding did so because they felt the laws being forced upon them were unjust. My original post addressed that concept. How are the southern states seceding because they opposed unjust laws wrong if Rosa Parks doing the same is OK?

    Again, I didn't make the claims, I only expected the coward to back up the ones HE made.

    Rosa Parks IS NOT "the first lady of civil rights"

    Claudette Colvin: The 15-year-old who came before Rosa Parks

    In March 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks defied segregation laws by refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin did exactly the same thing. Eclipsed by Parks, her act of defiance was largely ignored for many years.

    Yet Parks gets a statue..BULLSHIT


    Statue is being put up for the wrong person!

    What laws, just or unjust, were in place to stop the Southern states from seceding? The Southern states did not believe they were breaking a law, they thought they were exercising a right as outlined in the Declaration Of Independence. Unlike Rosa Parks who wanted to undo an unjust law the South wanted to divorce themselves from the Union. They did not believe there was any law or rule stopping them.

    BTW, only those without a complete shred of knowledge of American history prior to the War Between the States attempt to make the claim the South was populated by traitors. I ask, is Britain to be considered committing an act of treason for wanting to opt out of the European Union? How is the act of secession of the South different from Britexit?

    It isn't about laws in place to stop the South from seceding. It was the laws in place the South used as the reason why they seceded. The Southern States weren't breaking the law seceding. They were using the very same concepts the colonists used when they declared independence. The difference is those supporting what the colonists did as acceptable consider the Southern states doing the same thing as treason.

    Anyone who equates the South's reasons for secession with Rosa Parks sitting down is an idiot.

    The South had no just reason to secede, and the North murdered it for treason: so very good.
    Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.

    Then why was no Confederate tried for treason? Many of the high command of the Confederate troops had been high ranking members of the Union Army who "deserted" their commands and became Confederate soldiers.

    And for the record I don't think what Rosa Parks did was unlawful. You have to admire her courage at a time when a black person could have been murdered with no repercussions.

    Rosa Parks had no just reason to agitate.

    Read any good history books on the run up to the War Between The States lately. No, I didn't think so because you are about as ignorant of history as any man could possibly be.

    None of them committed treason.

    The laws at the time disagree with your opinion. It doesn't take courage to break laws. It takes being a criminal.
