[DiogenesLamp]

The South had no right to break up the Union without the consent of the whole body of the people of the United States.

You really can't read more than five words in the Declaration of Independence, can you? Did we get the consent from the English Union? Did we?

OMG. There is simply no reaching you.

[EternalVigilance]

We didn’t have the consent of the English, no.

But we had a moral basis for the dissolution, unlike the Confederacy.

And so, God saw fit to move His providential hand on behalf of our arms.
