      Yes, that was the founding ideology of the Confederate States of America. It was, as Lincoln argued at the time, shoddy history.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1163487128749248518 …

      A brief note on this: the point of the “Cornerstone” speech is that the foundation of the country was slavery and that that was *good* and *true.* https://twitter.com/JarrettStepman/status/1163485357205262339 …

      But the point is that the Cornerstone speech was arguing that slavery *should* be the foundation of the country, and that that would be a positive good.

      Indeed it did! And it was wrong and they lost. I mean, Justice Taney did originalism, too. It was just really, really shoddy originalism.

          This is basically why all the explosions happened over @seanwilentz's new book. For a good while now, historians have basically said that Calhoun, Douglas, &Garrison were right and Lincoln's vision of the American founding was wrong.

          Yep. This posthumous victory of Taney and Douglas over Lincoln and Douglass is a story about three or four decades old in the academy. See Thurgood Marshall, 1987.

          Would that we could grab some beers and have the conversation with appropriate detail that the subject deserves. Twitter is an astoundingly poor forum for this discussion.

          His problem with the constitution was that the constitution gave guarantees to slavery without labeling a specific hierarchy. He wanted the southern constitution to embed a definitive hierarchy unencumbered by the possibility of freedom for slaves.

          ...so is this not a vein of American history that should be explored and accounted for?

          In some ways Taney gave a backhanded compliment to the Founding, he realized that if Blacks had access to those same rights they had be made free. So he worked hard to deny them access. That was not originalism fault of course.

          Originalism can be misused, as can any method. Its virtue is that there are receipts with which you can call out bad originalism. By contrast, Wilsonian theories of living Constitutionalism can definitionally never be wrong so long as they have the votes.
