even if the civil war was about state rights how could the south justify slavery

you are implying the US is not a corporation.

Oh, for crikeys sakes! It merely sets up rules for the organisation of the legislative capital. It has long been the norm for cities to be run as corporations (incorporated societies) in the Anglo-Saxon world. That comes from the desire to mitigate the liability of city employees.

There were more white slaves in the US than there ever were African....

Alexander Stewart was herded off the Gildart in July of 1747, bound with chains. Stewart was pushed onto the auction block in Wecomica, St Mary’s County, Maryland. Doctor Stewart and his brother William were attending the auction, aware of Alexander being on that slave ship coming from Liverpool England. Doctor Stewart and William were residents of Annapolis and brothers to David of Ballachalun in Montieth, Scotland. The two brothers paid nine pound six shillings sterling to Mr. Benedict Callvert of Annapolis for the purchase of Alexander. He was a slave. Alexander tells of the other 88 Scots sold into slavery that day in “THE LYON IN MOURNING” pages 242-243.

Jeremiah Howell was a lifetime-indentured servant by his uncle in Lewis County, Virginia in the early 1700’s. His son, Jeremiah, won his freedom by fighting in the Revolution. There were hundreds of thousands of Scots sold into slavery during Colonial America. White slavery to the American Colonies occurred as early as 1630 in Scotland.

America risked going down the feudal path of serfdom back in Britain with the onset of indentureship and purchased labour which is why its ideals were set to paper.

Lincoln was a whore for the railroads. His boss was Mr. Rockefeller. As a matter of fact, Lincoln was the lawyer for the Railroads that killed the Steam Boats.

What Lincoln did was remove the necessity of the railroads to negotiate with each state where the transcontinental rail lines would go....it was taking too long and the states could not agree. So take over the Federal Govt and put your rails anywhere you want.

Put your own private standing army at the call of the president (Baldwin Felts and the Pinkertons) and you now run the country.

Ever notice that Railroad employees get special treatment by the IRS?????

and nowhere in that law does it say that
this corporation has to abide by the
laws of the constitution.

and nowhere in that law does it state
that we the people own Washington DC
nor elect the President of that corporation.

Slavery was pretty much done for at this state of the game....by 1860 farm machinery was already being mass produced for agriculture....it was the manufacturing facilities in the North that needed the labor and they were not about to give them free room and board like the slaves in the south got.

Criminal law takes precedence over contract law and constitutional law is supreme.

For example, if you have a pre-nup with your wife from anywhere in the world including the US, which includes beating her as a remedy in the event of failure, the chances of you being able to enforce the beating clause are zero.

day-yum
ho many times do I have to tell ya,
there is no constitution any more.

this is why laws like the Patriot Act,
TSA and DHS and NDAA can be passed in congress.

if we still had a constitution
then why are these laws being passed
and not overturned in the Supreme Court ??

Because its essentially a bye-law. It would be absurd for a bye-law to operate at this level as it is largely a piece of process legislation rather than being substantive.

I would call robbing the people of the US
to the tune of trillions and sending it
to the Vatican is VERY substantive.

Because a constitution contemplates the security of its citizens. Basic stuff dude. First year law basically. Nothing to stop you challenging the legislation,. But arguing that its driven by reptiles, or zionist aliens or illuminated bankers aint gunna fly before a judge.

Get the proof and go to court. Its that simple. Crying wolf is going to leave most people of sound mind, cold.

who said anything about reptiles or aliens ?
dude you are a joke

and if we had a working constitution
then the Patriot Act would have been
overturned

NDAA would have been overturned

DHS would have been overturned

Obamacare would have been overturned

they are all illegal by the Constitution.
yet it is ignored in the Supreme Court.
there is only one way that is possible.
there is no constitution.

I'm outta this thread
I'm sick of debating with
idiots.

Karl Marx was a rich Jew - a 1%er....who developed Marxism as a way for he and his peers to keep their wealth and power while convincing the labor force that they are well taken care of by the state.

His views are well established in the US and families in the county I live in are required by the Juvenile and Domestic courts to take his "Family Classes." Which teach that the state has all power over you family.

it would be a good way to control the crime the negros committ, and they would have better lives as servants than they can accomplish on their own if we banned sports and rap music.

I wont go into this stuff in detail as this thread is about the Constitution. This much I will say. Marx was quite clear that he was not talking about states.

States are a feature of mercantilism cum early/middle capitalism. As capitalists begin to co-operate across borders (such as hedge funds and multi-nationals), money takes on a global character. He never said anything about Little Joe getting bread and soup from the state kitchen as he was looking at the economics of capitalism and the poor guy is dead and can't set the record right. Plus his books are heavy on the brain. Of course, many have sought to make him into a Robin Hood character

That's not true.

You mean the War of Northern Aggression.

The D.O.C. is the new slave trade.

Robin Hood? Nope, that's not how I would describe him. Rich man developing controls for the rest of us in order to keep is status quo? Yes, that is exactly who he was.

There IS no justification for slavery.

Oh well, I can't change your mind and I guess, these ideas give your life some meaning. In any event, Marx did point out that as globalisation progressed, some would be bewildered and confused. When you get all conspiratorial about rich people, ask yourself, how would you behave were you to have a bank full of personal wealth. Wouldn't you invest in the most profitable country.

Don't make demons of the rich. They are you and I. They just happen to have more. However, one day, this party will come to an end.

Who are you to know what gives my life meaning? See, this is why I don't like Marx. He made assumptions about EVERYONE that have no merit.

I happen to realize that a poor man has never given anyone a job. But that doesn't mean that I believe the CEO should be making 10,000 times more than the men actually doing the work.

How many regular working people were invited to Marx's discussions? None.

No, the regular Joe's were nothing more than lab rats to him.
They weren't even considered human....just something you should study and control.

And you want me think he had everyone's best interest at heart? Not gonna happen.

Not only that, but LIncoln already had a plan in place to ship them all back to Africa, and he is quoted as saying "I have no intention that the negroe should ever hold office or vote." He didnt want them here, either as free or as slaves.

the north had slaves too. what part of this do you not understand?

African slavery is so much the outstanding feature of the South, in the unthinking view of it, that people often forget there had been slaves in all the old colonies. Slaves were auctioned openly in the Market House of Philadelphia; in the shadow of Congregational churches in Rhode Island; in Boston taverns and warehouses; and weekly, sometimes daily, in Merchant's Coffee House of New York. Such Northern heroes of the American Revolution as John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin bought, sold, and owned black people. William Henry Seward, Lincoln's anti-slavery Secretary of State during the Civil War, born in 1801, grew up in Orange County, New York, in a slave-owning family and amid neighbors who owned slaves if they could afford them. The family of Abraham Lincoln himself, when it lived in Pennsylvania in colonial times, owned slaves.

maybe you should check your facts
before calling somebody a liar.

it makes you look like a retard

The northern state demanded more taxes and tariffs on southern goods then on their own or foreign goods coming into the country. Then all southern shipping had to be conducted ONLY by northern shipping. The South was not even allowed to pass their own state laws without permission from the northern led congress.

As to slaves, the south realized that slaves were not the future, and had actually created state laws to abandon slavery, by forbidding the importation of more slaves, the birth from slaves would all be gaining their freedom once they reached their majority of age twenty five. The north, at the time demanded the right and continuation of their form of slavery called servitude. Under servitude, a person would be locked into perpetual slavery paying back a monetary loan to a company or person, often forcing the servitude to extend to children and grandchildren.

Slavery was wicked and worth killing over, but servitude was a god given right of the rich north.
