Q hints at 2021 election.
?? Theory ??
"When does COVID-19[2] MSDNC [fear] push end?
Think 2020_P election +1.
[D] party death spiral."
2020+1 = 2021
COVID-19[2] = COVID-21
States' rights do not supersede individual liberties. The Southern states were interfering in the natural rights of individuals. The Federal Government is charged with protecting individual liberties. Therefore, Lincoln was right to put a stop to that.
We had to preserve the union in order to protect the rights of the individuals whose rights were being infringed. We needed to keep them within our jurisdiction.
Right before the civil war, Lincoln was willing to sign an agreement to preserve slavery forever. He stated the union must be preserved at all costs, and he didn’t mind if a single slave was freed or not.
I’m glad the civil war resulted in freed slaves, but that was not the purpose.
I think the real story here is that we would have had to continue to enslave people to peacefully keep the Land of the Free intact. The Founders also left slavery intact so that they could form the Union, but they were never comfortable with it.
