You do realize that every state that seceded put secession to the people as referendum, and they OVERWHELMINGLY voted for it?

South Carolina didn't. Their secession was decided by a convention. Kentucky didn't, they went the convention route, too. As did Mississippi. And Alabama. In fact only four states - Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina - submitted secession to a referendum. In North Carolina the referendum was defeated, but later the legislature took them into rebellion anyway. In Virginia the referendum actually was held a few weeks after the state was admitted to the Confederacy.

Maybe you don't, you could be that ignorant.

Or maybe just smarter than you.

In Ga people voted for their delegates to attend the Secession Convention. So this is what a representative democracy does. If you are implying that somehow this convention did not represent the majority opinion of Georgians then make your case now or STHU.

” In North Carolina the referendum was defeated, but later the legislature took them into rebellion anyway.”

Forgot about the May 13, 1861 elections for convention delegates by the citizens of North Carolina, did ya? The convention voted to secede on May 20, 1861.

So, any further inaccuracies you wish to share?
