Re: Slavery in the North
In Response To: Re: Slavery in the North ()

"or is it 57 states I can't remember."

His exact statement was that he had visited 57 states during his campaign and only had 1 or 2 more to visit to have been all the state in the United States. Actually, our newly elected President confused me with this statement.

Now I only have a little more than a 12 grade education and he has a Harvard educations. So he surely is smarter than I. I was only aware of there being 50 states in our present Union, but surely he must know more than I, so if there are 58 or 59 states, where are those 8 to 9 other states?

I know that Washington DC, Puerto Rico and Guam get to vote, but they are not States. So I am wondering where this wonderous land of "Shangri-La" is, which Franklin D. Roosevelt called the mysterious part of the United States from where we launched Doolittle's Tokyo Raid from in 1942, that contains all these states.

Are they being denied their statehood rights as the southern states were in 1865?

But that cain't be correct because evidently they would get to vote in the Presidential election, since he was visiting them during his campaign. Why waste money going to a state where the people couldn't vote for you?

I don't think that he even visited most of the southern states during his Campaign so maybe we are the ones that are missing?

But that cain't be so either, because he said he had visited ALL the States.

So that must mean that those southern States, which he did not visit during his campaign must not be a part of the United States. If we then are not a part of the United States, which he said he visited all the states in it, then maybe we (those southern states not visited by him) can reform our Confederacy and no one will complain, because we are not a part of that Union.

And given the condition of everything in the United States today, politically and economically, I am about ready to reform that Confederation again.
