Jeffery Rogers Hummel wrote a book called "Freeing the Slaves and Enslaving Free Men", (http://www.amazon.com/Emancipating-Slaves-Enslaving-Free-Men/dp/0812693124) the gist of which was his ending the states rights that had way more to do with Fed'l revenues from the south than slavery. The FedGov collected 75% of its revenues from Southern tariffs, then spent that money largely on its Northern crony "capitalists" [in name only].

I applaud the battlers against, but we are already slaves indebted for generations - a debt so large there does not exist enough dollars to ever pay it off. It compounds daily, and like those inexperienced enough to max out their credit cards, who do not understand that making the minimum payment doesn't reduce the balance, we Americans have let govt, media and academe lead us to believe there's no worry, in fact they stymie the very debate of it. The Revolutionairies fought the King who had already sucumbed to the Rothschild banker's debt who financed 50yrs of his wars, and they well knew those loans were made only if the taxpayers were to be the guarantors. This was the real meat of the issue - they understood the King's predicament, as well as who was going to pay for it! But then these were the men that sacrificed all for liberty. It was the banker influenced "Federalists" who were no state's rights federalists at all. Hamilton and his banker puppeteers rather devised a constitution in secret for their own ends to power. A Constitution so permissive of power, directly opposed to the precepts of the Declaration, that de Toqueville said would it insure tyranny within 200 years. Another luminary said it was "all sail and no anchor". The majority of Americans were against it - only six signers of the Declaration would sign it. The Federalist elites switched their constitution of empowerment for the bait of OUR Declaration of Liberty. We were swindled from the very beginning, and what protections against power have been slowly, purposely, intergenerationally, eroded. We live the hugest lie in history - how can any man be free when the Govt steals half our production?
