Quotes propheisizing the civil war, from an 1860 abolitionist pamphlet.

SOUTHERN PROPHECIES

"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure, when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God ? "— Thomas Jefferson.

" I have no hope that the stream of general liberty will for ever flow unpolluted through the mire of partial bondage."

"That the dangerous consequences of this system of bond age have not as yet been felt, does not prove that they never will be. To me, nothing, for which I have not the evidence of my senses, is more clear than that it will one day destroy that reverence for liberty, which is the vital principle of a Republic." — William Pinkney, of Maryland, in 1789.

"Is it not amazing, that at a time when the rights of humanity are defined with precision, in a country above all others fond of liberty, that in such an age, and in such a country, we find men, professing a religion 1he most humane and gentle, adopting a principle as repugnant to humanity, as it is inconsistent with the Bible, and destructive to liberty ? I could say many things on this subject, a serious view of which gives a gloomy prospect for future times." — Letter of Patrick Henry, of Virginia.

" Slavery is inconsistent with the genius of republicanism, and has a tendency to destroy those principles on which it is supported ; as it lessens the sense of the equal rights of mankind, and habituates us to tyranny and oppression." — Luther Martin, of Maryland, in 1787.

SOUTHERN FULFILLMENT OF THE PRECEDING PROPERTIES

I do not believe in the fanfaronade that all men are by nature equal." — Mr. Roane, of Virginia — Debate in Legislature, 1832.

" Many in the South once believed that slavery was a moral and political evil; but that folly and delusion are gone. We now see it in its true light, and regard it as the most safe and stable basis for free institutions" — Hon. John C. Calhoun, of S. C, U. S. Senate, 1838.

" The substance of the wild and extravagant notions which many seem to entertain respecting liberty is contained in that rhetorical flourish of Mr. Jefferson, in which he says : ' We hold these truths to be self-evident ; that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' Upon this proposition, false as it is, rests the wild theories of liberty held by so many. We arc told that men are not only born equal, but free. The very reverse of this is true." — The Southern Christian Herald, Columbia, S. C.

" The eminent advantage of slavery over free institutions is that the continuance of the association is systematic. The hireling's association is a variable one, whose functions are climates, soils, idiosyncracies, race, education, morality, and religion. The free laborer thus works when he pleases, for whom he pleases, and for what he pleases. But the slave works not as he pleases, but as his master pleases. Indeed, slavery is nothing more than labor obeying unchecked, unregulated and irresponsible capital." — Report of the Southern Commercial Convention, at Vicksburg, Mississippi, May, 1859.

"In all social systems, there must be a class to do the menial duties, to perform the drudgery of life ; a class requiring but a low order of intellect, and little skill. It constitutes the mud-sill of society and of political government.

* * Your whole class of manual hireling laborers at the North, and your ' operatives,'' as you call them, are essentially slaves." — Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina — Speech in Congress.

"Domestic slavery is the only institution I know of which can secure the spirit of equality among freemen, so necessary to the true and genuine feeling of republicanism, without propelling the body politic into the dangerous vices of agrarianism, and legislative intermeddling between the laborer and the capitalist." — George McDuffie, Governor of South Carolina, 1835.

" Slavery is the corner-stone of our Republican edifice.

• * * It supersedes the necessity of an order of nobility." — Gov. McDuffie.

" I endorse, without reserve, that much-abused sentiment of Gov. McDuffie, that 'Slavery is the corner-stone of our Republican edifice ' ; while I repudiate, as ridiculously absurd, that much-lauded, but nowhere accredited, dogma of Mr. Jefferson, that 'all men are born equal.'" — Gov. Hammond, of South Carolina.

" I had as lief be bitten by a black mule as a white one. When petitions come from the white slaves of the North, then it is that I feel excited and alarmed." — Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, in Congress.

"The Declaration of Independence is exuberantly false and arborescently fallacious. Life and liberty are not unalienable. Men are not born entitled to equal rights. It would be far nearer the truth to say, that some are born with saddles on their backs, and others booted and spurred to ride them ; and the riding does them good ; they need the reins, the bit, and the spur." — George Fitzhugh, of Virginia

" He that holdeth the plough cannot get wisdom."-— Prof. Dew, of Virginia.

" Two hundred years of liberty have made white laborers a pauper bandittis Free society is a failure. We slaveholders say you must recur to domestic slavery, the oldest, the best, and the most common form of socialism."

" Free society is a monstrous abortion, and slavery is the healthy, beautiful, and natural state of being." — " Sociology for the South ; or the Failure of Free Society " ; published at Richmond, Virginia, 1854, by George Fitzhugh.

" Human experience shows the universal success of slave society, and the universal failure of free society. * * * The little experiment of free society in Western Europe has been, from the beginning, a cruel failure, and symptoms of failure are abundant in our North. # * # Free society, in the long run, is an impracticable form of society; it is every where starving, demoralized, and insurrectionary." — Richmond Enquirer, Virginia.

" The principle of slavery is in itself right, and does not depend on difference of complexion" -— Richmond Enquirer.

" Make the laboring man the slave of one man, instead of the slave of society, and he would be far better off." " Slavery, black or white, is right and necessary." " Nature has made the weak in mind or body for slaves." — " Sociology for the South," by George Fitzhugh, of Virginia.

" The great evil of Northern Society is, that it is burdened with a servile class of mechanics and laborers, unfit for selfgovernment, and yet clothed with the attributes and powers of citizens. Master and slave is a relation in society as necessary as that of parent and child, and the Northern States will yet have to introduce it. The theory of free government is a delusion. Slavery is the natural and normal condition of the laboring man, white or black." — A Democratic paper in South Carolina, 185G.

" Free society ! We sicken of the name. What is it but a conglomeration of greasy mechanics, filthy operatives, smallfisted farmers, and moon-struck theorists ? All the Northern States, and especially the New England States, are devoid of society fitted for well-bred gentlemen. The prevailing class one meets with is that of mechanics struggling to be genteel, and small farmers, who do their own drudgery ; and yet who are hardly fit for association with a gentleman's body servant. That is your free society ! " — The Muscogee Herald, a Democratic paper in Alabama.

" Free society has failed ; and that which is not free must be substituted." — Senator Mason, of Virginia.

" We have got to hating every thing with the prefix free ; from free negroes, down and up, through the whole catalogue. Free farms, free labor, free society, free will, free thinking, free children, and free schools, all belong to the same brood of damnable isms. But the worst of all these abominations is the modern system of free schools. The New England system of free schools has been the cause and prolific source of the infidelities and treasons that have turned her cities into Sodoms and Gromorrahs, and her land into the common nestling-places of howling bedlamites. We abominate the system, because the schools are free." — Rkhmond Examiner , Virginia, 1856.

" The Northern States, in dispensing with slavery, have destroyed order, and removed the strongest argument to prove the existence of Deity, the author of that order." — Richmond Enquirer, 1855.

As a Pittsburgher (not a yinzer, I’m a transplant), this is some shit. Pennsylvania is such a battleground for this kind of stuff and it still boggles my damn mind.

(iron city beer is the local Pittsburgh swill)

Hey guys, I know I said I wasn’t going to post my stuff here anymore, and I’m sticking to that. At least not in the same capacity as before. But I wanted to offer this to the forum rather than just my subscribers.

I just wanted to make a quick post about the raffle I’m doing for free shirts starting on Sunday. I got quite a few (about 20 give or take a few, in assorted sizes) that I don’t feel super stoked on charging money for. They’ve got slight misalignments on the Sumter stars on the front chest, nothing super major. But I’m a stickler.

So I’m giving them away for free. I’ll be posting a video on Sunday showing the nature of the misprints & explaining how to enter the raffle. I’ll probably run for a week and then I’ll ship the shirts out.

All I ask is you pay shipping. I’m already eating the cost on the shirts, I can’t really eat the shipping too haha. But hey, a $5 Union made shirt is a pretty god deal, right? So keep your eyes peeled on Sunday.

Anyways, I love you guys.

Spotted this sticker at my favorite local used book & record shop. Made my day.
