SOUTH CAROLINA: The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving 2 free persons distinct political rights: right to represent, & burthening them w/direct taxes 4 3/5 of their slaves; by authorizing importation of slaves 4 20 yrs; by stipulating rendition of fugitives.

“a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” You said I should read Lincoln’s speeches. I just quoted from a speech he gave in 1858. 4/8
You say I should look at “facts,” yet you merely assert without reference to specific authority. To say, as you do, to “read [Lincoln’s] full speeches” is equivalent to saying “read the books in the library.” 5/8

Unless you offer something more specific, this is a waste of time. The issues that arose because of slavery, as evil as that institution was and always will be, are far more complex than you seem to imply. 6/8

I say “seem to imply” because you do not state anything w/citation to specific authority, and seem only to want to make pithy comments about shortcomings in my knowledge of Lincoln, his views on race and how the Constitution protected slavery. 7/8
