To Greg Harton: Regarding todays editorial “Enslaved by the Past” in the Ardemgaz

Only one of your quotes (if you are indeed the writer) is necessary to expose and offer irrefutable evidence that your piece is one of lies, ignorance, or both. “That is our nation’s greatest shame, and Confederates fought to destroy the government established by the U.S. Constitution we so revere today.”

At the Treaty of Paris of 1783, King George III in his signing the Surrender Accords each state was awarded one of his signed accords stating that each of the colonies was a sovereign nation, and so held by the Founding Fathers.

Pertaining to secession, in the case the second one, erroneously called the Civil War, please read the Declaration of Independence and what it has to say re secession and the definition of a Civil War is when two bodies clash to take charge of the central government. The South had no such intention, they just wanted out of Lincoln’s tariff corruption and tyrannical issues.

“He, Lincoln instructed Seward to introduce proposals in the Senate Committee of Thirteen without indicating they came from Springfield. The first resolved that the Constitution should never be altered so as to authorize Congress to abolish or interfere with slavery in the states. Another recommendation that he instructed Seward to get through congress was that all state personal liberty laws in opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law be repealed.” (Doris Kearns-Goodwin)

This proves that the war had nothing to do with slavery, all about Lincoln’s tariffs and the South funding his government well over 70%.
Lincoln & The Corwin Amendment, available in the records of the U.S. House of Representatives, the 106th Congress, Second session, the Constitution of the United States of America, Doc. No. 106-214—slavery in perpetuity.

Individuals such as you are the ilk that is fomenting uncivilized behavior in our Republic. Editorials such as yours are tearing our country apart and you are complicit in the demise of the Constitution you claim to revere!

Slavery was on its way out, rightfully so, due to economics and abolitionist activities in a peaceful manner, there was no need for Lincoln to murder 700,000 during the war and the murder, rape & theft during “reconstruction” and the continuing of same by Grant, Sherman and Sheridan directed at a genocide of Western American Indian tribes.

If you are interested in in-depth documentable truth concerning the Constitution, what lay behind it and the Uncivil War, please contact a scholar named Michael Gaddy at montezumaconstitution@gmail.com
