The Judge Was Right

The Judge Was Right

In this video, Thomas Woods comes to Judge Andrew Napolitano's defense by confirming his historical claims are in fact true. This has two lessons in it. First, is that the media can be completely wrong and appear to be so gloriously right. Second, is to prove that the North was still practicing in the slave trade during the Civil War.

Here is the interview Thomas Woods is referring too.

Lew Rockwell's Facebook Post

    Lew Rockwell posted this on his Facebook page after the first Andrew Napolitano interview. The videos above refer to the second Daily Show interview as of recent.

“Jon Stewart is very, very afraid of of us, apparently. Several emailers have written to inform me that Stewart did a small hit/smear job on Judge Andrew Napolitano on The Daily Show last night. The 'hit' was about how the Judge wrote in one of his publications that the U.S. probably could have ended slavery the same way that New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and all the other Northern states did, as well as the British empire, Spanish empire, the French, Danes, Dutch, Swedes, and others during the nineteenth century, namely, peacefully. (See Jim Powell, Greatest Emancipations: How the West Ended Slavery; and Joanne Pope Melish, Disowning Slavery: Gradual Emancipation and Race in New England, 1780-1860). No, no, said Stewart and pals, 750,000 dead Americans , more than double that number maimed for life, and the total destruction of the voluntary union of the founders was the only way to go. Southerners, six percent of whom owned slaves, 'were willing to die to preserve slavery' announced the renowned historian Jon Stewart. The Great Oz (er, I mean, The Great Abe) did what was necessary said the great historical sage and his cast of clowns,” says Thomas DiLorenzo.

    My point with the Lew Rockwell quote is essentially to help put some historical context to the video. Also pointing out some of the things we also lost along the way. The nature of the Union was never the same again after the Civil War.
