 "We hold these Truths to be self-evident,  that all Men are created equal,  that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,  that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-"                                                   Starting salvos from our Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776 The age of abolition, 1800-1861. A sixty year span of time wherein the institution of slavery was wrangled to the ground, and the doctrine of ‘Popular Sovereignty’ was brought to ashes in a final physical battle for the soul of the country.  The legal right to make someone else one’s property, and that the government cannot interfere was brought to a halt and extinguished from all the United States of America, while also preserving the union.

It was in the American colonist call of “no taxation, without representation” in what was then the English Commons of America, that legal ‘jurisprudence’ was established amongst chosen, good, and upright representatives of the united colonies, to determine legal claim unto the natural right of man to live safely within a community that establishes a system of law...
