You may want to go reread some of those declarations of secession by assorted states…. There’s a lot of “it’s our God given right to own humans as property” in them. But also you believe taxation equals theft so who even knows man.
From Georgia “The prohibition of slavery in the Territories is the cardinal principle of this organization.”
South Carolina “A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common Government, because he has declared that that “Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free,” and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction. . . .”
Mississippi "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. "
Taxes are a hassle and can frustrate me, especially when used for things I don’t agree with, but they also build roads and waterways and allow society to lift each other up. All that aside, the Civil War was fought because the Southern states wanted to continue owning people as property. They plainly stated it in their assorted articles of secession, I’m sorry you feel that knowing that somehow means I wasn’t taught US history I guess?
Why did the Union kept slaves, if they truly believed these declarations…
Though I find funny I’m reading taxation rhetorics when Fascists are running the greatest heist of the century.
No wonder the Colonists spilled some tea in Boston, they knew the King of England wanted to
build roads and waterways and allow society to lift each other up
Says the person pretending Donald Trump was an equal opportunist who never wrote “C” in tenant applications in a land that has been gentrificated again and again.
Maybe your vision of America is “bizarre, delusional, and ahistorical.”
But what do I know, I am not living in fantasy created by colonists.

Oh the 13th Amendment does some shifty stuff with incarcerated people to this day, I get that. That being said, maybe read through the articles of secession from the various states, it’s enlightnening.

Keep on keeping on my dude.
I prefer seizing the means of fascists.
But you do you.
Hey that’s something we can agree on at least
Jesus fucking Christ.
Was also crucified by merchants in the Church.
Is this what libertarians propagandize now, that Abraham Lincoln freed his slaves because he utterly believed his slaves had rights?
Fucking what.
…
Wait, you seriously believe the Union really cared about emancipation, after continuing to keep slaves winning the war…
What utterly bizarre, delusional, and ahistorical interpretations.
