Compromises and Acts that led to The Civil War
This installment will cover the events and compromises that led to armed conflict and the secession of the southern states.
This country was founded upon the Articles of Confederation which were designed to bring the states together and repel any threat of invasion by foreign powers. If your state was threatened then all would join in the effort to repel the invaders. The Revolutionary War was fought under this authority. When our Founding Fathers gathered in 1787 to write the Constitution the most divisive issue was slavery. The first compromise came when the Northwest Ordinance was adopted. The future states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan were the northwest territory at that time. The agreement was that this area would be slave free, and in the southern states, slavery would remain legal. The Mission Statement of the Constitution was to “form a more perfect Union” however, the Constitution failed to address the 17% of the population who were slaves and would remain less than equal by law.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Ronald Reagan Speech at Liberty State Park, NJ
Much ado has recently been made of the fact that Jon Huntsman announced his Republican Presidential candidacy at the very same place as Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy, at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty. This is not exactly correct, Ronald Reagan gave his Liberty Park speech on Labor Day, 1980, a mere two months before the election. He actually taped his announcement speech which was delivered on November 13, 1979, according to the Reagan Library.
Reagan did deliver one of his most powerful speeches at Liberty State Park, and in many ways still rings true today. You can substitute Obama for Carter in this speech and not lose a thing in the translation, the parallels are eery. We need a candidate who is not afraid to hit Obama as hard as Reagan hit Carter in this speech.
Here is Part One of Reagan’s Liberty Park speech:

A House Divided
This is my second installment on The American Civil War.
A thousand Republican delegates met in the Springfield, Illinois, statehouse for the Republican State Convention on June 16, 1858. They chose Abraham Lincoln as their candidate for the U.S. Senate, running against Democrat Stephen A. Douglas. That night Abraham Lincoln delivered an address to his Republican delegates. The title reflects part of the speech’s introduction “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” His source was the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It was a speech that many of his closest colleagues did not want him to give. They thought it to be too politically incorrect. Against the wishes of his closest advisors Lincoln delivered the speech that would make him a national figure and a demon in the eyes of the southerners.
Following are the opening remarks of that speech;
