MemberIt was not quite an adoption but yes, the Davises did rescue a young black child and raised him for a time with their own children until they were separated with the coming of Federal armies. A good article on Jim Limber’s status in the Davis family may be found here: http://www.moc.org/sites/default/files/PDFs/jimlimberarticlewinter08.pdf.
MemberI was referring to the so-called dominion theory (while it was certainly not the sole invention of these two men).
July 11, 2013 at 11:24 pm in reply to: Greeks & Romans Bearing Gifts: How the Ancients Inspired the Founding Fathers? #15239MemberDo you think that republicanism (largely following the classical Roman tradition) or liberalism were more influential to the thought of Jefferson and other like-minded founders?
MemberIn public, he advocated burying the hatchet and peaceful reconciliation, promoting this through his own example. In his private correspondence, however, he made clear his disgust of Radical Reconstruction, but only would tolerate fighting it through political processes.
MemberI was also wondering what you thought of Macaulay’s THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND, especially as compared to Hume’s.

MemberWhile states have historically entered into confederations, alliances, compacts, treaties, and other agreements after seceding, this is not the secession itself nor is it a requisite part of secession. Therefore, the provision does not prohibit secession but only prohibits such actions while the state is a member of the Union. Since none of the aforementioned actions which are prohibited is a requisite of secession, they don’t make secession any more unconstitutional than, say, the prohibition of the states to grant titles of nobility.

MemberOkay, after having done a little bit of googling, I found that Rothbard himself wrote about it in For a New Liberty. I had only previously heard him mention it in the end of his lecture on the legacy of the Civil War but he addresses it here, starting on page 256. Following his footnotes leads to E. Louise Peffer’s The Closing of the Public Domain.
Pages 22-31 are directly relevant and available to read in the preview.
*Edited the link.
