Thanks for posting Calhoun. We could use more stern logic like his on these threads. Calhoun and John Randolph do not get enough recognition as the great American statesmen they were.

I don't want to get into a tit for tat on whether or not the South had the legal right (the Constitution says they did) to secede, or was it about slavery, taxes, autonomy, etc. Although it is interesting that the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't enacted until 2 years in, with 5 northern territories remaining slave holding territory. No need to hash all that out here. No doubt that the war was our Iliad, and we are stuck with the consequences.
