The creation of non-union Boeing jobs in South Carolina as the firing on Fort Sumter
When Citadel cadets invited a War of Northern Aggression led by Abner Doubleday 150 years ago last April, they knew that the firing of canon balls at federal troops on a federal fort in Charleston Harbor was illegal in Lincoln’s eyes, if not their nascent Confederate nation’s. The First and Second battles of Bull Run followed all the way to Appomattox Court House.
But who would have thought, some 135 years after Reconstruction in the South ended, that the building of an airplane factory by a Northern firm in North Charleston would commence a third bull run around the basic American rights to liberty and happiness pursuits sans union shop mandates?
