When the "Righteous Causers" (RC) bring up the Secession statements and that they read them all and "RC" says it was about slavery, that's your 1st clue they are lying.
Ask them about the Corwin Amendment. 99% of "RC" have no idea what it was.
More likely they will dismiss it as nothing but it's huge blow to their myth.
Bring up the fact that WV was admitted (illegally) as a slave state. Remind them that NJ, DE, MD had slavery during the War of Northern Agression. Remind them that slavery was still allowed in Union territories. See John Fremont and how he was reprimanded by Lincoln.

.@stuartpstevens, author of "It Was All a Lie" about the #Republican party: #NikkiHaley "epitomizes someone who has a great future behind her.... It's the history of Mephistopheles, right? Not only does he take your soul, but he doesn't deliver." #WITHpod
