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.

I admit I read your posts primarily for amusement but I'm beginning to suspect you don't read your posts at all. Your claim was, and I quote, "...every state that seceded put secession to the people as referendum..." and I merely pointed out that not only were you wrong, you were badly wrong. Only about a quarter of the claimed rebel states submitted it to a referendum. Now if you're trying to change your claim to "...every state that seceded put secession to the people as a referendum OR through elected delegates at a convention..." then even that is incorrect. Many used elected conventions, but certainly not all. South Carolina's convention was appointed by the legislature. Kentucky's delegates were pretty much self-appointed. Missouri didn't bother with anything; a rump section of the legislature and an impeached governor decided that.

So...are you planning any other inaccurate claims?

“South Carolina’s convention was appointed by the legislature.”

Wrong.

South Carolinians voted for their convention delegates on December 6, 1860.

So, are you planning any more inaccurate claims?
