south carolina was willing and ready to secede. but, compromise was made at the last minute and the type and try and terraform away. this is quite historic for me to say this, but, it's quite possible slavery would have gone away as an issue. because, slavery ended in the north. not because northerners had a fit of morality, but because, the evolution of the northern economy meant slavery was no longer profitable. reading the economy of the north. the same forces that eliminated slavery, peacefully, albeit slowly in the north were at work in the south. the striking thing. in 1800 nearly every country in the world allowed slavery. in 1900, virtually no country allowed slavery. it was only in the united states at this required a great civil war. i was henry clay's belief that if the compromise of 1850 have been given 30 years to run that southerners were calm on their own to the conclusion that slavery no longer serve their purposes and that would be a much better solution to the slavery question than if the war came in the south was

is north carolina different from north carolina, where just anybody can call? run atelections the state and local level. there are different rules. some ways, this does create a hot podge of different laws in different states. some states are more restrictive and require voter id. some states have really liberal early voting rules. you might be able to vote in september in the november general election. you might have to have a really good reason to vote absentee, or else you have to vote election date. not everyone has the same access to the ballot box. that could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. there is one advantage, though, and that is if we do have a number of, say, recounts or things like that, can you imagine a really close was heldial election under the popular vote that required a national recount? scalee that on a national in the national popular vote election. that would be really pretty difficult. so there are advantages and disadvantages to local control of elections at this point. even with the hr-1, the new bill that democrats ar

charleston, south carolina, is nicknamed the holy city. churches, steeples dominate the skyline of this historic city which, until recently, had an audience -- ordinance that no building could be constructed wanting n 55 feet, nothing to obstruct the steeples. faith is fundamental to the charleston community. rocked that faith was this lone 15, when gunman rushed into this bible most after studying the historic african-american churches in the state of south of lina, develop a list ive churches, one of which was emmanuel a.m.e. he selected this church because of its importance to the african-american community, being the first organized place of worship in the south for african-americans. he selected this. this was a hate crime of the first order. and we are saying we should not inconvenience him. and we did not inconvenience him. we allowed him to get that gun after three days. when it was around the fifth day they found the glitch in the system and found him to be ineligible to own a gun. just had a gunman go into his workplace in aurora

how does this fix what happened in north carolina? the bill doesn't. and that was an amendment that we offered, ms. torres. we offered an amendment to outlaw ballot harvesting because we've seen where it is illegal in north carolina, somebody took advantage of that and could possibly go to jail. that's why we introduced the amendment that was voted down on party lines. unless it's part of a manager's amendment, i haven't had a chance to go through, i'm assuming that's still the case. that ballot harvesting will still be legal nationwide, when we've already seen the fraud that can be committed. ms. lofgren: if i may on that point. it's ironic that the -- in north carolina, you can't let another person who is not your immediate family take your ballot to the poll for you. well, if you're an isolated elderly person, you may not have a family member available to do it. but that's against the law. and that's where this apparent really serious misconduct occurred. in contrast, in california, it is perfectly legal for an isolated elderly person to give that b

look at what happened in north carolina. in 2013, state legislators requested data broken down by race on how residents engaged in a number of voting practices. they then used that data to enactless that restricted voting and voter registration in five different ways that disproportionately affected african-americans. you do not have to take my word, the fourth circuit of appeals found that this legislation was enacted with discriminatory intent. in fact, the fourth circuit said that in north carolina, legislation targeted african-americans with, and they said this, i quote, almost surgical precision. we are better than that. in georgia, we saw actions just last year by officials to remove people from the voter rolls and prevent them from registering in the first place. . h.r. 1 would register people to vote, expand absentee voting and give additional funding to states to maintain enough polling sites so they can do their job. this legislation would help make it easier for hardworking americans to find the time to vote, by m
