[QUOTE="Arnox, post: 12121, member: 1"] Well, as we all know, the Civil War was heavily about state powers versus federal powers. Slavery was the powder keg that had been sitting there ever since after the Revolutionary War and then blew up, initiating the Civil War and reigniting the big ass debate they had about how much power the federal government should have as compared to state governments. During the writing of the Constitution, a bunch of founding fathers really hated slavery and would have loved to have just shot it in the head that day, metaphorically speaking, but as a way to appease the south and to finally get started on uniting the states, it was allowed with a few small caveats under the assumption that it would be sorted out later. It was not sorted out later. [/QUOTE]
