(62,325 posts)no US of A and that many of the Northern rebels wanted slavery ENDED but would have lost the support of the South for the Revolution and decided to wait until THEY were free from Britain before addressing what people like John Adams eg, considered to be 'one of the world's worst EVILS'.
Stop glossing over historical facts. We hear excuses all the time for why Obama 'can't push for a National HC System, because he would get NOTHING because of the Republicans'.
The next time I see that excuse from you I will remind you of why slavery wasn't addressed in those early days because you appear to be contradicting yourself on the matter of 'excuses' for why wrongs cannot be corrected.
And your constant slamming of the US Constitution here has been noted. Great ideas have often come from very flawed individuals, or from people who were trapped in the times they lived in. We would appreciate coming to DU and finding Liberal views expressed here not these right wing arguments against the FFs INTENDED to tie Liberals up in knots, yes, we know where they came from. They haven't worked since the first tried them back we Liberals argued that the Iraq was Unconstitutional.
Now, back to the topic of the OP which had nothing to do with this attempt to distract.
A great injustice was done to a Democratic Governor, no justice was expected for him during the Bush occupation of the WH, but once Dems took over, it WAS expected and instead things have only become WORSE for Siegelman. The OP is asking a question all Dems are asking, 'why'???
