In that speech Stephens explicitly stated why the Confederacy was formed:
...But not to be tedious in enumerating the numerous changes for the better, allow me to allude to one other-though last, not least: the new Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions-African slavery as it exists among us-the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.
...Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition.
...Many Governments have been founded upon the principles of certain classes; but the classes thus enslaved, were of the same race, and in violation of the laws of nature. Our system commits no such violation of nature's laws. The negro by nature, or by the curse against Canaan, [note: A reference to Genesis, 9:20-27, which was used as a justification for slavery] is fitted for that condition which he occupies in our system.
There you have it.
White supremacy and slavery was the reason for the Confederacy.
Not tariffs.
Slavery. Slavery. Slavery.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
So what the fuck is Di Lorenzo doing saying it was about the Morrill Tariff?
But why are Infowhores allowing Di Lorenzo to spew such lies?
Is it Jones Confederate ancestry being passed down from generation to generation?
We don't know.
Jones must reveal his family's relationship with the Confederacy?
Were they signatories to the Texas ordinance of secession?
What is that relationship?
And why is Jones not condemning it while allowing Pastor Chuck Baldwin and Di Lorenzo to push neo-Confederacy?
