Secessionists were killing free-staters in Kansas

So now secessionists from Kansas were coming into Texas and coercing Unionists not to participate in the conventions? I'll need a link on that one.

But most were threatened to not participate.

Now it's most? The only reference you've provided is a synopsis with no materials sourced. And your reference does not support that most were coerced into non-partitipation. It mentions it in passing along with the fact that many refused to participate in what they saw was an illegal act (much as Patrick Henry had done 80 years before during the Constitutional Convention).

Non-participants get screwed in any system of government. It's what the 'public good' is all about.

Too late. That's after the coup

No, in fact your supposed coup could not have taken effect until after the vote. Much like Ms Stewart, you seem to have a problem arranging dates in order.

I was obviously showing the mindset of those that would perpetuate slavery. Some of them were murderers.

Obviously.

Here we go with "it was faked!" again. You guys don't believe anything unless it's a claim that New Yorkers were shot in voting booths. lol

It doesn't take much of an imagination to comprehend how someone is encouraged not to attend a political event.

It's one thing not to participate. It's another to be "encouraged" not to participate.

First came the coup, then the referendum. Too late.
