Right-wingers like to post high prices on X. I stole a pic of a prime rib roast bought at HEB (TX) for over $300. My retired SIL wrote back saying HEB is inexpensive; they used to pay twice that back in Kansas. I can't imagine paying over $500 for a cut of meat. Over my budget!

I've been told by a SIL she used to pay twice the HEB price back in KS. She thought recently buying a smaller roast for $120 at HEB was inexpensive.

If and when the general government violates its agreement in the view of the people of the statem they may withdraw their consent, not subject to regime whims.
First of all, nothing is stupider than a regime social studies teacher, For one thing, as real historian Brion McClanahan points out, the very name the "Civil War" presumes there was a war among states in the union. That is false; the South declared independence from the North.

This is not to say slavery didn't have vested interests in the Southern economy. But as everyone, even proto-libertarian Lysander Spooner, an abolitionist, opposed Lincoln's unconstitutional, unprovoked invasion to conquer the South. The norhen union could outlaw slavery.

It's difficult to argue the specifics of emancipation in the South but it seemed inevitable without a war claiming over a million lives and huge costs to the economy. Even a compensated emancipation would have been far cheaper
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 28, 2023
The abolition of slavery already had momentum peacefully eliminated in most of North wihin 80 years. The Confederacy put slavery on the table trying to win European recognition. The cost of holding slaves would have increased sharing a long slave-free US.

The secession of SC had more to do the balance of power among the states at the expense of the Southern economy (protectionist tariffs were a crisis duing the earlier Jackson administration).

It's not surprising that Ms. Haley quickly caved into politically correct pressure to affirm slavery as "the cause" of the "Civil War". As anyone could have predicted, Haley tried to claim brownie points over removing the Confederate flag from State House grounds.

I'm more surprised by the fact Nikki Haley was caught flat-footed by the Civil War question, just weeks after the melting of the Robert E. Lee statue made national headlines. As former SC governor, she should have expected it. The indisputable fact is slavery ended Dec. 1865.
