Intellectual fraud over the Civil War
The Constitution of the Confederacy trampled state's rights
The Constitution of the Confederacy prohibited any Confederate state from making slavery illegal making a mockery of professions of state sovereignty. Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens elaborated: “Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas [of the United States Constitution]; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and moral condition. [Applause.] This, our new Government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.”
Do you think Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will permit such undisputed truths unmolested into any Florida classroom? DeSantis is an intellectual fraud who thrives only because of the epidemic of ignorance and mental sloth. A Republic denuded of brains cannot long endure.
