A childish argument to say the least. States are defined in the USC. Entire states can move to secede. This infantile argument that you espouse shows how little you really understand of US history . It also show contempt for the lives lost in a serious struggle and the honor and integrity of Southerners everywhere.
You are neophyte compared to other Lincoln apologists. You should keep quiet and read these posts and try to learn something, you're not ready for prime time. Please stop; this is embarrassing - to you. You are unworthy of my time.
What should we tell the mailman? ;-)
Really? Which clause is that?
Your refusal to seriously answer the question isn't unexpected. Lost Causers seem to have this persistent notion that the state is the fundamental particle of sovereignty, and nothing below is valid and nothing above is more than an matter of convenience, to be renounced at the slightest whim.
Not unilaterally. It was tried before and found to be illegal.
As individuals, we have the right to renounce our American citizenship, but we don't individually or collectively have the right to renounce the American citizenship of our neighbors.
That's where the secessionists goofed up, albeit they did what they did for what they believed to be a real special cause. ;-)
And, they were damned lucky that President Jackson wasn't still the president.
