Seriously? You're using an 1860 opinion piece from a pro-slavery newspaper, as some kind of proof that the south weren't traitors to the UNITED States of America? Wow. Or did you not bother to read it?

And exactly what kind of "property" do you think he was talking about?


From your link.

"Let the Northern States repeal their Personal Liberty Bills, and pass laws recognizing the rights of the Southern people to their property. Let Southern people be permitted to enjoy their rights unmolested and undisturbed. Let them, if they desire it, carry with them in their tours of business or pleasure their domestic servants."
