[quote=pri_dk]Brian gets one point for mentioning the Missouri Compromise. It serves as pretty compelling evidence that many the North did give some of a shit about slavery.
But Brian loses twenty points for the line about “the right” and Obama. Why do you insist on throwing these weak, worthless jabs into your posts?
We aren’t going the settle the slavery/Civil War debate here. I just hope the next generation is educated enough that they will be able to understand the debate.[/quote]
I will also give credit for the mentioning of slavery as one of the reasons…of the many. The North did give a shit or they wouldn’t have fought for the 3/5’s clause. You will always her uneducated people rag on the constitution as being a racist document because it only considered blacks 3/5’s of a person but that clause was actually added to help free the slaves.
