LOL! OK, I'll play along for a bit. What placed the Declaration of Independence in a position of authority or dominance over the Constitution or the President?
The Southerners dealt with an attack launched against them and their right to independence, and subsequent people intent on spreading propaganda, portrayed them as "rebels" when in fact they were not.
Yeah they were rebels, and they also lost the war that they themselves initiated. If you don't care enough about your cause to win then maybe it wasn't much of a cause to begin with?
God. It says so right in the document.
Yeah they were rebels, and they also lost the war that they themselves initiated.
I'm going to correct you on a couple of points. They weren't rebels, and Lincoln initiated the war by sending a war fleet to attack them.

You have a funny way of looking at a fight where one side has a four to one advantage over the other just in people, let alone in material and logistics.
If we applied your reasoning to slaves wanting freedom, I guess they didn't want it bad enough to overcome the horrific odds against them.
No, sometimes you can be in the right, and still be defeated by a stronger force.
