The stupid Yankees couldn’t even AGREE whether the Seceding States had left or not......

Lincoln’s belief was that they had never left, while the Radical Carpetbagger Republicans said they DID, and had to meet conditions to RE-APPLY for statehood. We should have told them all to “shove it” and fought a guerilla war until they were choking on their own blood!

Unless you are REALLY old, there's no we about it. You weren't there.

And thankfully General Lee and General Johnston had the CLASS and DIGNITY to realize that the end was at hand and ended the war. Only those two individuals had the CLASS to end the war before the south was completely eradicated.

You would think after all the bloodshed and all the misery, that the stupid Yankees could have cobbled together an amendment to make secession illegal, post war. No, the USC is STILL silent on the issue, as it should be.

This proves the utter hypocrisy of the entire "preserve the Union" BS.

I think we're about to get a second chance.

Can you quote the legislation that required that?
