They South was separating from the Union. Now tell me where in the U.S. Constitution does it say you can’t leave the Union?
You need to understand too. The Federal government back then was like the U.N. today and States were like your home country. Gen. Lee was offered command of the Union by President Lincoln, and he said no because his loyalty was to his State which was like a country back then.
At the time Gen Lee was Commandant of West Point.
Again where does it say in the U.S. Constitutio?. This is why the South called it the war of Northern Agression. The war was about economics and not freeing slaves. The slaves being freed was more of an auxiliary issue.
Tell me where it does? You know something Reb? I’m sick to death of listening to you Confederate morons go on about a treasonous bunch of bastards who split the country in two so a bunch of Southern plutocrats could preserve an economy based on the use of slave labor. Did you want to have it so the Confederacy prevailed? Do you feel proud to be an American in this, the greatest nation in history or would you prefer to be living in some Balkanized mish mosh of a country?
