He's apparently unaware that that was tried, to no avail, in the decades leading up to the Civil War. The Congress tried to negotiate compromises limiting where and where not slavery could be legal in order to balance Congressional representation between slave and free states.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The Fugitive Slave Act? The Compromise of 1850? Bloody Kansas and John Brown? Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854? The Lincoln-Douglas Debates? Shame there was no attempt at negotiation. The orange turd assumes, correctly, that his followers won't fact check him 
There are those in the deep south who are going to buy into anything that they think may prove their side.
Many are still mentally fighting the civil war. Or as I was told - That's the war of Northern Aggression to you Missy. This wasn't all that many years ago and wasn't anything that surprised me after living a few years in SC. Trump is playing to an audience that wants to hear things like this.
What fresh hell can this be? - Dorothy Parker
It's the economy, stupid.
Trump wants the US economy to crash this year so that he can win.

It's almost always about the economy. Republicans claim that Trump would've won a second term if not for the pandemic. They may be right.
I think that is the Republican house strategy. Tank the country so that Trump can get into power. Then they can plot how to stay in power forever.
