Quote:The power of the states enabled enslavement of human beings for decades, and Johnson worked towards enabling that to continue. It's all about perspective, Eric. The enslaved willingly embraced centralized power because states rights meant horror for them. If the Constitution allows that, the framers got it wrong. As great as it is, it is not an infallible document.


And I sympathize with that, slavery was absolutely a stain on our history. But the fight against centralized power wasn't and isn't a single issue. Johnson more than anyone in his time fought both against slavery and centralizing power. He saw the danger in using one to correct the other.
