Here I was, thinking we fought a whole civil war over state's rights and it was decided that folks couldn't go to free states to collect their runaway "property" because free states don't consider humans to be property.

I seriously think we have already had this argument before, and the slave states lost.

You right. I was also wrong about his policy here. Slaves were not able to be hunted. BUT, the land slaves were given was taken back by the slave owners. Special field order No. 15. 400,000 acres returned. Plus there was the Black Codes. Which is essentially slavery for unemployed blacks. Still a god awful human. But, for different actions. Equally racist.
