      We can finally quarantine the anti-human states, now that “states rights,” aren’t an issue.

      Mexico outlawed all forms of slavery when they founded the country. The Alamo defenders were defending the right of US citizens to make Texas, which was a Mexican territory at the time, into a slave state.

        As President Grant, himself a veteran of the Mexican-American War, once noted…

        For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation.

          We only missed founding this country with no slavery by a single person’s vote. If any one person had voted the other way in The Continental Congress, we would have started the US without the deep festering wound that has divided the country ever since.
