    When someone makes the argument that it was states rights that did it, just follow up with the question “…to do what?”

    Because the answer is “have slaves”.

      I also like yo add to states rights argument,

      The south wanted to force the north to revoke freed peoples citizenship and send them back to their owners, and they were even sending bands of bounty hunters into northern states to collect black people, many of whom were never born as slaves.

      So the south were the ones infringing on states rights more than anything.

    She probably doesn’t know why the Civil War started. Or why Slavery was abolished.

    She is a Republican in 2023 and was governor of a traitor state. Not ok, but not surprising

    Yes, and Texas being stolen from Mexico by renegade, raciat southerners desperate for cheap cotton land had nothing to do with Texas becoming a state, including the entire mythology of “the Alamo”.

    “Forget the Alamo” answered a lot of questions for me about why Texas was and is the way it is.

      It wasn’t stolen for land, they already were welcomed there. It was stolen because Mexico outlawed slavery

        IT was stolen through revolution for slavery, and slavery needed land. No one would have moved to desolate, remote texas to farm without slave, it’s actually a lot of work. There was no profit in farming if slaves weren’t involved, and none of it would have happened if opportunists didn’t see cheap…or in their case free land as a benefit toward their cause of profiteering from slavery.
