Pritzker<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">This remark at Governor Pritzker\u2019s postelection press conference was the sole heartening thing I have heard since the debacle of November 5. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Frederick Douglass famously <a href=\"https:\/\/shec.ashp.cuny.edu\/items\/show\/1245\">asserted<\/a>, \u201cPower concedes nothing without a demand, it never has and it never will.\u201d  This maxim is usually invoked to stress the need for tenacity, as in the United Farm Workers\u2019 \u201c<em>\u00a1S\u00ed, se puede!<\/em>\u201d (\u201cYes, we can!\u201d), or the motto of African revolutionaries in the Portuguese colonies, \u201c<em>A luta continua<\/em>\u201d (\u201cthe struggle continues\u201d), or the Wobbly martyr Joe Hill\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t mourn, organize.\u201d But Douglass\u2019s insight goes deeper. He understood that oppressive power will concede nothing except when confronted by a countervailing power; that moral righteousness and steadfast commitment avail little unless the oppressed grasp the necessary tools. The arc of justice does not bend by itself; it is bent\u2014or not.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, resistance to MAGA will brew, but we need to be strategic about how to make that resistance effective. Progressives cannot afford to be like the proverbial French generals, always fighting the last war. In this case, the \u201clast war\u201d is the mass <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2017_Women's_March\">Women\u2019s Marches<\/a> of January 2017, the largest protests in US history\u2014until the Black Lives Matter mobilizations in 2020! But today, when Trump has targeted dissenters and is itching to use federal and paramilitary forces against his opponents, those kinds of protests cannot be our only way to resist.<\/p>\n<p>The question now is how to deploy actual power to block the vicious MAGA agenda once it takes control of the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>In my view, we should take up one of the most effective forms of resistance to unjust authority in US history\u2014fighting at the level of individual states and municipalities, where governors and legislatures, mayors and city councils act to protect their own citizens. Yes, I am talking about \u201cstates\u2019 rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here we face a problem of historical memory. Throughout the 20th century, the term \u201cstates\u2019 rights\u201d meant the right of a state to disfranchise, segregate, exclude from public services, and deny basic physical safety to some of its own citizens. That was the constitutional rationale underlying Jim Crow from Virginia to Texas, how Chicanos were treated in the Southwest, and Native American peoples virtually everywhere. In 1948, South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond led a walkout from the Democratic convention when the party finally endorsed civil rights. He convened a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/documents\/platform-the-states-rights-democratic-party#axzz1iGn93BZz\">States\u2019 Rights Democratic Party<\/a> and swept four states (South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama) as the only \u201cDemocrat\u201d on the ballot. <\/p>\n<div id=\"current-issue-block_90acef7e71497b1006e5c0d05cb56016\" class=\"current-issue  float-l-w-2\">\n<h4 class=\"current-issue__title\">\n                    Current Issue<br \/>\n            <\/h4>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/issue\/march-2025-issue\/\" class=\"current-issue__cover\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cover0325.jpg\" alt=\"Cover of March 2025 Issue\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Eight years later, 101 Southern Members of Congress issued the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thirteen.org\/wnet\/supremecourt\/rights\/sources_document2.html\">Southern Manifesto<\/a>, damning the <em>Brown v. Board of Education <\/em>decision as a \u201cclear abuse of judicial power\u201d that would \u201cencroach upon the reserved rights of the states and the people.\u201d And Ronald Reagan sounded a loud dog-whistle on August 3, 1980, telling whites at the <a href=\"https:\/\/neshobademocrat.com\/stories\/ronald-reagans-1980-neshoba-county-fair-speech,49123\">Neshoba County fair<\/a> in Philadelphia, Mississippi\u2014where the KKK had murdered civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in 1964\u2014that \u201cI believe in states\u2019 rights\u2026. And if I do get the job I\u2019m looking for, I\u2019m going to devote myself to trying to reorder those priorities and to restore to the states and local communities those functions which properly belong there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But there is also a powerful history of state and local resistance to injustice that we can draw on. As Kate Masur\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/wwnorton.com\/books\/9781324021841\"><em>Until Justice Be Done: America\u2019s First Civil Rights Movement, from the Revolution to Reconstruction<\/em><\/a> and my <a href=\"https:\/\/uncpress.org\/book\/9781469672533\/the-first-reconstruction\/\"><em>The First Reconstruction: Black Politics in America from the Revolution to the Civil War<\/em><\/a> document, in the half-century preceding Lincoln\u2019s election, governors, legislatures, towns, and cities in much of the North resisted the legal claims of the slaveholding states, defending the rights of their citizens against \u201cthe Slave Power\u201d\u2014meaning the South\u2019s domination of national politics. As this defiance spread in the 1850s, it effectively nullified the federal government\u2019s ability to enforce the claims of slave-owners.<\/p>\n<p>There is a further implication for our own time, when Republicans controlling red states seek to abrogate the citizenship of those deemed \u201cother,\u2019\u201dwhether immigrants, trans persons, or anyone not white. In the antebellum era, \u201cstates\u2019 rights\u201d meant that when a state granted citizenship to African Americans by enfranchising them if male, authorizing them to testify against whites in court, issuing passports to them (as Massachusetts did in the 1850s), and protecting them against slave-catchers via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/Free_Men_All\/LJmyWcP0YzIC?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0\">\u201cpersonal liberty\u201d laws<\/a>, that state\u2019s governor, legislature, and courts were deliberately confronting those states that refused citizenship to Black people.<\/p>\n<p>Up until 1850, the central issue was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountvernon.org\/education\/primary-source-collections\/primary-source-collections\/article\/fugitive-slave-act-of-1793#:~:text=Which%20penalty%20may%20be%20recovered,Bonner%2C%20Manager%20of%20Visual%20Resources.\">1793 Fugitive Slave Act<\/a>, which required states to comply with the Constitution\u2019s specification that any \u201cperson held to Service or Labour in one State,\u201d if escaping to another, must be returned. In the 1810s, legislators above the Mason-Dixon responded viscerally to well-organized kidnapping rings in the Chesapeake, which regularly abducted persons of color (especially children). In 1820, Pennsylvania passed the first \u201cpersonal liberty\u201d law, further strengthened by an 1826 act making it extremely difficult for a slave-owner to to reclaim his human chattels. <\/p>\n<div id=\"cta-block_e6fcd3a8d4de0a732f03b7d47d0412b2\" class=\"cta float-l-w-3\">\n<p>By the 1830s, an anti-slavery constituency formed among Northern Whigs led by the congressman (and former president) John Quincy Adams. It became popular to defy the South by refusing to extradite fugitives or persons charged with aiding escapes. A pattern was set in 1837\u201338 when Whig and then Democratic governors in Maine denied Georgia\u2019s demand for the rendition of an enslaved stowaway and the captain of the ship on which he escaped.<\/p>\n<p>The most famous instance of this de facto nullification was the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/1839-new-york-virginia-extradition-controversy\/#:~:text=Hopkins%2C%20demanded%20the%20extradition%20of%20Gansey%2C%20Johnson%2C,Virginia%2C%20but%20New%20York%20governor%20William%20Seward\">Virginia Controversy<\/a>\u201d of 1839\u201342, during which New York Governor William H. Seward resisted five Virginia governors demanding the extradition of three Black seamen, New York citizens, who helped an enslaved person to escape from Norfolk. Seward\u2019s rationale here bears special notice for our time. He wrote one governor that extradition was valid in his state only if the supposed crime was \u201ctreasonable, felonious or criminal,\u201d and it was \u201cnot a felony nor a crime\u201d in New York to help someone escape from bondage, adding that \u201cit is absurd in this State to speak of property in immortal beings, and consequently of stealing them, as it would be to discourse of a division of property in the common atmosphere.\u201d Not only that. In 1840, he signed a bill mandating jury trials for alleged fugitives from slavery, and in 1841 approved legislation revoking the \u201cnine months law\u201d which permitted slaveholders to bring their chattels into the state.<\/p>\n<p>Seward and his Ohio ally (later governor) Salmon P. Chase took the doctrine of a state\u2019s right to guarantee liberty to the Supreme Court in 1842 and lost in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prigg_v._Pennsylvania\"><em>Prigg v. Pennsylvania<\/em><\/a>, when the court voided the conviction of a professional slavecatcher. But the <em>Prigg<\/em> decision also removed the requirement that state authorities cooperate in recapture. As a consequence, individual states and localities continued to turn a blind eye to \u201crescues\u201d of captured fugitives, often by free Black folk.<\/p>\n<section aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad fullwidth-ad contained row position-relative ad-block alignfull \">\n            <!--Ad policy starts here--><br \/>\n                    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/advertising-policy\" class=\"mid-ad-policy\">Ad Policy<\/a><br \/>\n                <!--Ad policy ends here--><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Matters came to a head after passage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/the-constitution\/historic-document-library\/detail\/the-fugitive-slave-act-1850\">Fugitive Slave Act of 1850<\/a>. That draconian legislation repealed habeas corpus for all persons of African descent in the \u201cfree\u201d states. The reaction across much of the North was violent outrage. In 1852, the Ohio congressman Joshua Giddings told a mass meeting, \u201cI would sooner see every slave holder of the nation hanged then to witness the subjugation of northern freemen to such a humiliating condition.

The resolution by Vermont\u2019s General Assembly in 1858, following the <em>Dred Scott v. Sandford<\/em> decision, gives their flavor: \u201cThat all laws of Congress which recognize the right of property in man, or deprive any person of liberty without due process of law and a jury trial\u2026are unconstitutional, void, and of no effect\u2026. That these extra-judicial opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States are a dangerous usurpation of power, and have no binding authority upon Vermont, or the people of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Dred Scott<\/em> was the final straw, as it guaranteed slaveholders the right to take their human property anywhere in the United States and erased any possibility of Black citizenship. The Wisconsin legislature nullified it, and Maine\u2019s Supreme Judicial Court followed suit when queried by the legislature whether Black Mainers could still vote as they had since the state\u2019s founding. It was a short route from there to Lincoln\u2019s election in November 1860 and then secession, when four of the slaveholding states cited the refusal to return fugitives as a central reason for leaving the Union. They had been met with power, and retreated.<\/p>\n<p>What is the lesson of this history from our seemingly distant past? Constitutional scholars will likely declare it irrelevant, given more recent precedents, and no one can imagine that this Supreme Court\u2014any more than the court led by Chief Justice Roger Taney that issued <em>Dred Scott<\/em>\u2014will support states and cities that defy Trump. This is not a legal strategy, in any case\u2014no more than resistance by New York or Ohio to the slave power\u2019s domination was.<\/p>\n<p>It is as political as could be: putting up a wall against oppression, securing a border for freedom, creating sanctuaries for the oppressed, refusing to cooperate with a government that validates cruelty via mass deportations of the undocumented and persecution of anyone involved in abortion or gender-affirming care.<\/p>\n<p>That was the implication of what Governor Pritzker said: Now we must expand the zone of freedom state by state\u2014by any means necessary. The fighting words of Vermont\u2019s legislature in 1858 seem fresh: \u201cWhenever the government or judiciary of the United States refuses or neglects to protect the citizens of each State in their lives and liberty, when in another State or territory, it becomes the duty of the sovereign and independent States of this Union to protect their own citizens, at whatever hazard or cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"article-end-\" class=\"article-end \">\n<div class=\"article-end__authors\">\n<div class=\"article-end__author\">\n<h5 class=\"article-end__author-name\">\n
