To place a reality upon your Ken Burns, head up your rectum, mind pollution in thinking you know everything.
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter..........
You have been lied to constantly about the cause of the Civil War and the reasons behind the South in their seceding from the Union. So I inquire of you, if you know the first time which the reality of nullification was brought up in Washington, DC, and as to the subject matter involved?
Already you bright brats have the clue that it was nothing to do with slavery. What it had to do with was the reality of Americans obtaining and owning land for their own manifest destiny in America.
It was on the floor of these United States Senate, concerning a bill by Senator Foot of Connecticut, which would limit the sales of lands held by the United States.
You must understand before the Homestead Act and other such provisions, lands in America were sold to the highest bidders which meant that speculators profited while the poor were kept from obtaining property. In the Foot bill, it would literally create a land shortage in a nation with millions of acres of lands available for settlement.
The noted Senator from Missouri, Thomas Hart Benton, rose in opposition to this land grab as it was a direct attack on the peoples of the West, or as the New Englanders sneered at them, "the savages beyond the Alleghenies".
You think "red state" is something new? Those patrician racists of the east coast New Englandites have been involved in abandoning Americans to genocide by Indian and European empire from before 1776. This cult of patricians has been racial profiling Americans for hundreds of years in this institutionalized racism born from New York to Connecticut.
This eastern elite were driven with a concern that if America expanded to states beyond the Mississippi, that America would not be manageable. Key on the word "manageable" as that word is CONTROL. The establishment of the east coast was terrified that they would lose monopoly control of America if more states were added and the population shifted west to those "savages".
You can still hear that verbiage to this day in east coast snobs thinking that Midwestern cities do not have as good as medical facilities as those found in Boston or New York.
Apparently they have never heard of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota.
It was in this debate about the Oregon Country in which Senator Hayne of South Carolina rose in the Senate and uttered the words concerning nullification, as starting from tariffs to now dictations about land grabs against Americans, the people of the South were already furious about what the New Englanders were initiating in "legislative imprisonment" of all Americans, decades before the Civil War.
It was the New Englanders by Senator Daniel Webster who engaged in this first salvo of using American laws against Americans to wrest control from the greater part of America for the dictatorship by New England.
Yes I never receive Rockefeller money nor get to appear on PBS or am awarded prizes or book deals, as I deal with the Truth and you are involved in abandoning this blog and stealing the content from God and myself.

The South Carolinian statesmen now proclaimed the doctrine of nullification,— that is, proclaimed that if any state deemed a federal law improper, it could proceed to declare that law null and void so far as its own territory was concerned,—and, as a corollary, that it had the right forcibly to prevent execution of this void law within its borders.
This was proclaimed, not as an exercise of the right of revolution, which, in the last resort, belongs, of course, to every community and class, but as a constitutional privilege.
Jefferson was quoted as the father of the idea, and the Kentucky resolutions of 1798-99, which he drew, were cited as the precedent for the South Carolinian action. In both these last assertions the Nullifiers were correct. Jefferson was the father of nullification, and therefore of secession.
He used the word "nullify" in the original draft which he supplied to the Kentucky legislature, and though that body struck it out of the resolutions which they passed in 1798, they inserted it in those of the following year.
