State Rights

Henry Sherrill, 10 years ago

History has got the civil war all wrong. It was fought over the states right to govern themselves. Slavery wasn’t even an issue until the Emancipation Proclamation was published in 1863. What about the New England states that were threatening to secede from the union when their rights to governing them selves were infringed. The federal government had to back off or they would have lost their primary money making states at the time. I for one believe that Texas should secede from the united states and become its own Republic again and revert to the pre 1845 borders. This would effectively cut the United States in half. See what they would do then.
