With that said, tribal treaties with the CSA are no more valid that confederate money.

Which means that Indian treaties with the US are invalid as well </sarcasm>

Other than that, I must concede Non-Seuitur's point that the Confederate state department had damn little to do during its existence.

Other than the 25 treaties listed above.

another IGNORANT comment on northern/southern slaveowners.

no less a person than the former chair of history at Tuskeegee Universityv did the research in the 1960s & his stats were "peer reviewed". he was/IS right.

THANKS!

i took my screen-name from my ancestor's COMMANDING GENERAL.

i'm just his MULEholder. (the BOSS was too poor to buy a horse, so he rode a borrowed mule throughout the war.)

The fact that there are provisions for ratification and joining the Union but no provisions for a procedure for secession implies that there is no right of secession, but you are correct, the Constitution is silent on the issue.

WRONG ANSWER!

the first CSA "ALL-BLACK" units were formed in early 1861.

check out the LA Native Guards (who were FORCED in 1862 to fight for the union OR be sold INTO slavery!), the Mississippi Ethopian Free Rifles, The GA Sables & other all-black,Latino/black & mixed Indian/black units (like the SEMINOLE RIFLES for example, which was about 50% blacks. fyi, there were 2 white guys in that unit, as well.).

according to Dr H R Blackerby by mid-1862 the CSA military forces were DESEGREGATED down to company level. the damnyankees NEVER desegregated their military forces, period.

the CSA also had SEVERAL black commissioned officers;the damnyankees had NONE!

!!!!!!!!!!!

to quote one of our GREAT SPEAKERS, Red Cloud,

"The hairy-faces came among us and made us promises.

more promises than all the trees have leaves.

BUT of all the promises they made, they kept just ONE.

they said they would steal our land".

NUFF SAID!

No it just means any transaction by the so-called conferate states was invalid.
