Sshhh...we're supposed to believe the only violent Muslim in the whole world is bin Laden.
Original writings from the local whores confirm that Davis was, in fact, hungI imagine a lot of people fly the rebel flag as a sort of rah rah our team football mentality.
That doesn't detract from the fact that it symbolizes treachery and failure.
Only in your mind does it symbolize treachery. If it was true then Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and all Confedrate Government leadership would have been hung upon capture.
This thread is funny...I will never figure out why people get so upset over the fact that the Southern states left the union because they wished to keep their slaves.
A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union.
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin.
Fact: Individual states cannot secede from the Union/Compact.

I didn't say they didn't matter, I said you need to read the other speeches they gave and documents they issued. It is their body of work that matters.

OH I see, now the Ordinances of Secession matter? I said some a couple of state left the union because of slavery it can be found in their Ordinance of Secession. However, it cannot be found in every states Ordinance of Secession.
Immaterial.This thread is funny...I will never figure out why people get so upset over the fact that the Southern states left the union because they wished to keep their slaves.
I agree that that has something to do with it. But it's still just my opinion as it is yours.
But here is a fact for you: The southern states seceded BEFORE the emancipation proclamation.

They also said you don't have the right to self-determination and self-governance if you don't feel like killing a lot of peopleIs that yes I agree with you?
Um...no.
What does that have to do with anything?
Research do some research. The supreme court told President Johnson that he did not have the authority to try anyone for treason.
