Many Intellectuals were trying to get into America before and during the Revolution, Thomas Paine, Pierre L'Efant the architect, Alexander Hamilton and many more. I love Rothbard quoting Paine. I don't know of any Intellects trying to get into the Confederacy. Mark Twain got out of it and moved to Nevada, which entered into the Union in 1864. Rothbard still hasn't convinced me yet..3 down 2 more to go.I hope it gets better

What an ass. The Revolutionary War was in defense of liberty. The Southern succession was in defense of violation of human rights. God, what an ass!

Slave trade was banned anyways, so the slaves were gaining rights (like when the peasants got more rights after the plague) . That war was totally unnecessary, and the motives of both sides included so many more interests other than Abolishinists Vs Slave Owners.

The civil war was more about building a transcontinental raid-road and centralization of the federal government. Good old Abe was more racist than anyone, he was known for his dirty jokes; and if it wasn't for Boothe, he would have shipped all the African-Americans back to Africa.

The South seceded over taxes, and the North invaded them over taxes.
The southern constitution outlawed the importation of slaves. And Lincoln supported the Corwin amendment and the fugitive slave laws.

The "Revolutionary War" was not a revolution, just as the "Civil War" was not a civil war. A "revolution" is a native rebellion aimed at overthrowing the existing government of the nation and replacing it with another. The Revolution was NOT a revolution, but a secession, colonies splitting off, not overthrowing the English monarchy. Likewise, a civil war is a battle between opposing armies for control of the nation- the Southerners had no desire to rule the North. They were both about secession

I think vbullinger missed Dr. Rothbard's point by quite a distance.
He simply said a Jesuit was correct on that point. He never said "follow" a Jesuit.
Big difference there.

Did you just cite a Jesuit as someone to follow?
Yikes...
