A bunch of Lincoln appointed hacks issued that ruling. They were wrong, of course.The Supreme Court ruled in 1869 that a State can NOT unilaterally leave the Union. So much for might.So your theory is that might makes right?And who WON again?No state ever seceded from the Perpetual Union (yes, words do have meaning). Some states declared they were separate. Some states tried to enforce their claim. Their claim was refuted and their illegal action nullified through military action. An unfortunate turn of events made necessary by anti-republican, inhuman elements in society.
Yes, eventually that happened. How many military victories did the South have over the North by the summer of 1863?
