Lawmaker's Civil War remark draws gasps

Jefferson City -- State Rep. Bryan Stevenson caused a firestorm in the House on Tuesday after suggesting federal efforts to undo state laws restricting abortion would be "the greatest power grab" since the North declared war on the South to end slavery.

"What we are dealing with today is the greatest power grab by the federal government since the War of Northern Aggression," said Stevenson, R-Webb City.

War of Northern Aggression is a term some Southerners use to maintain that the North illegally invaded the South to put an end to slavery.

The remark caused a sudden gasp heard throughout the House chamber, and an immediate rebuke by some black members of the Democratic caucus.

Missouri remained mostly neutral during the Civil War, suppl
ying soldiers and raw materials to both sides. But the state was still considered part of the Union throughout the bloody conflict.

Stevenson, who represents parts of Jasper County, later apologized on the House floor, saying he was sorry "for any offense that my earlier comment made."

The Winston's of the world have multiplied.

Stevenson never should have been rebuked, based on the Corwin Amendment which basically said, you can keep your slaves and we won't intervene, it was Ratified in 4 or 5 states. The North wanted the cotton and a big part of the money via taxation the South generated.

Lincoln & Washington DC did not want to end slavery. If they wanted to end slavery they would have written and submitted a specifically worded amendment calling to end slavery. They did not.

The North wanted the cotton and a big part of the money via taxation the South generated.

At the time before Lincoln started the Civil War the Southern states had the 3rd largest economy in the world. It soon becomes obvious that Jews were in power and control of the Confederate South (Judah P. Benjamin), the many Northern Jews surrounding Lincoln including Salomon Rothschild, well go figure.

The North was only aggressive about getting a big piece of the profits from the South and wanted to Federally rule the South. Freeing the slaves was a Federal addition with the 1865 passing of the 13th Amendment to force the states to follow the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation after the blunder of Lincoln's agreement and Congress passing of the Corwin Amendment in 1861 to allow the FOREVER keeping of slaves in those states that already kept slaves. Lincoln kicked off the war after 6 states ratified the Corwin, with the Fort Sumpter skirmish.

Not much makes people, especially Jews, more aggressive to the point of starting a war than gaining wealth. Breaking the economy of the South, through excessive tariffs and such, helped destabilize the South into the full on Civil War.

I imagine Blackrock and Vanguard are salivating with this eventual civil war Biden is creating with his Jan 20, 2021 reversal of 95 Trump EOs now creating conditions for Fort Sumpter type scarcity civil wars in USA through massive immigration.
Texas has the largest economy these days, I keep an eye on news from that state, as well as New York.
But hey, I enjoyed my visit to the sacred 1868 built Rothschild House now museum up in Washington State.
It's really surprising how many early USA businesses they owned, land they owned before and bought up after the Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln and the Corwin Amendment - Northern Illinois University​

The Corwin Amendment was a resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to forever guarantee the right of the Southern people to own slaves, proposed by Republicans in 1861. President Abraham Lincoln transmitted a copy of the amendment to the governors of the states,
It also was written and passed to prevent the war.

13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery (1865)

Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.
In 1863 President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation since it only applied to areas of the Confederacy currently in a state of rebellion (and not even to the loyal “border states” that remained in the Union). Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery.

The 13th Amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union, and should have easily passed in Congress. However, though the Senate passed it in April 1864, the House initially did not. At that point, Lincoln took an active role to ensure passage through Congress. He insisted that passage of the 13th Amendment be added to the Republican Party platform for the upcoming 1864 Presidential election. His efforts met with success when the House passed the bill in January 1865 with a vote of 119–56.

On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states (three-fourths) ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

With the adoption of the 13th Amendment, the United States found a final constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th Amendment, along with the 14th and 15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.

Breaking the economy of the South, through excessive tariffs and such, helped destabilize the South into the full on Civil War.

Also funded the Civil War. The South had to pay those ever increasing tariffs to get imported goods needed for their businesses that ran their economy. I am not sure about regular state or federal taxation or how it's involved in the Civil War.

The Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation right after the Civil War in the Southern United States between the 1870s and 1965. The Crows in the movie The Birds & in cartoons, also Disney film Dumbo.
After 1965, with desegregation violent "Muh Freedom" black crime exploded in numbers, as did the number and size of prisons.

With the start of the 1960s porn and horror "mind bending" movies, the numbers of BLACK SERIAL KILLERS increased radically.

And, here we are today, dealing with rampant numbers of violent black criminals, most of whom need to be in prison. Personally, I'm a believer in segregation for the benefit of less crime.

Morill Tariff Bill on imports
In its first year of operation, the Morrill Tariff increased the effective rate collected on dutiable imports by approximately 70%. In 1860, American tariff rates were among the lowest in the world and also at historical lows by 19th-century standards, the average rate for 1857 to 1860 being around 17% overall (ad valorem), 21% on dutiable items only. The Morrill Tariff immediately raised those averages to about 26% overall, or 36% on dutiable items. Further increases by 1865 left the comparable rates at 38% and 48%. Although higher than in the immediate antebellum period, the new rates were still significantly lower than between 1825 and 1830, when rates had sometimes been over 50%.[13]

The United States needed $3 billion to pay for the immense armies and fleets raised to fight the Civil War, over $400 million for 1862 alone. The chief source of revenue had been tariffs. Therefore, Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, despite being a longtime free-trader, worked with Morrill to pass a second tariff bill in summer 1861, which raised rates another 10% to generate more revenue.[14] The subsequent bills were primarily revenue driven to meet the war's needs but enjoyed the support of protectionists such as Carey, who again assisted Morrill in the bill's drafting.
