HISTORY

Before income tax the Republicans ran the country, they were primarily located in the North East. All the Federal money was from tariffs of exports, mostly cotton. Eighty five percent of the Federal money was derived from the South. The congress was controlled by the North East, only ten percent of the money came back to the South, the majority of the money was used for the North Eastern infrastructure. Even though the States got their money from property tax, Slaves were property and accounted for about half the Southern States total income. Eli Whitney had invented the cotton gin, Slaves could become Share Croppers and they could be freed. The Slaves being free would cause them to be counted as people and give the South more seats in congress. A larger share of the Federal money could be directed to the South, to compensate the States for their lost property tax money. This was nullified by counting Slaves as 3/5 of a person. This formula would keep the North East in control of Congress. ACORN will count the undocumented in the country. Can HICKERNUT count the Chinese at 3/5 ? This would avoid another war.
