My oh my, what would the critics, the Civil War publications, publishers, and bloggers do if it weren't for the bad boys of the Confederacy and those who study them and also those who wish to honor their ancestors who fought for the Confederacy?

I can’t remember much from this mini-series but the unniform still looks like a cross between cavalry(gold) and artillery(red).
The red shirt is a bit weird....
That is Hollywood again. (sigh)
He is wearing a “Battle Shirt”, designed to be worn by itself. NOT under a tunic.
And NOT accurate, as most of the series wasn’t.
Before you start calling people names, you ought to read the history.

I'm not sure on that. I think that a stronger case can be made against unilateral secession than for it and that while a future court might do a better job than Chief Justice Chase in documenting their reasons I think the precedent would stand.
That' all right, we all get caught up in the story. One of my favorite movies is "Ride With The Devil" and if all Secesh women looked like Jewell then I'd probably switch sides.
We agree about that. :) Jewell is hot!
“Ride with the Devil” is also a favorite of mine, mainly because of the accuracy in speech, and the fact that it realistically shows the war in Missouri for what it was, a blood bath, with atrocities committed by both sides. I really have a problem with the fact that both sides killed civilians.....
I love that movie. It was shot in and around the KC area, and the Lawrence destruction was actually done in a small town north of here that got flooded out in 1993 and was abandoned.
Yes. That is a great scene. I had an ancestor at Lawrence, with Quantrill, and his complaint was that many common thugs participated in that raid. I do believe the raid was justified, because of Jayhawker activity, but the killing of civilians was wrong. I think they could have killed soldiers, burned the town, and still accomplished their goal. Unfortunately with both sides, revenge and the code of the feud governed actions in most cases.
In order to be successful, Secession would almost have to be unilateral. Example: Let’s say that Obama and the Democrats choose to impose a socalist government, take away our guns, etc.? Do you seriously think that Congress would approve secession? The only choice would be for the state to take itself out.
Jeeesuz! That is pretty crass. I guess it is all in fun though. The rivalry here in Texas between UT & Oklahoma has gotten ugly at times.
What you're talking about is rebellion, and while we can agree on the need for that at times let's not pretend that it's legal or sanctioned by the Constitution. A peaceful separation requires the agreement of both sides of the issue, those leaving and those staying. Madison firmly believed that. Both sides have rights and interests that need to be respected. Both sides have protection under the Constitution. For one side to walk out unilaterally and reduces the interests of the remaining side to irrelevance, and saying the Constitution allows this makes the Constitution a club that the leaving states can use to beat the remaining states with. The founding fathers would never agree to something like that.
Eh, we just consider the source. The general consensus is that Mizzou people are a bunch of crybaby wannabes.
The rivalry here in Texas between UT & Oklahoma has gotten ugly at times.
While it's faded a bit, in their heyday the rivalry between OU and Nebraska was even fiercer. But I'm Illinois born and bred, and Big Ten educated. And I can tell you nothing compares with Michigan-Ohio State in terms of rivalry. The Border War is amateur time by comparison.
the conclusion is INESCAPABLE that had the STATES wished to cede the RIGHT of Unilateral Secession to the central government, that they would have VERY clearly said so.
the STATES did NOT cede that power/right; thus Unilateral secession REMAINS a lawful option of the STATES under the US Constitution.

BOTH sides "practically decided upon " BLUE or GRAY as "outer garments" because of BOTH sides shooting AT their OWN troops in the early days of the WBTS. SOME units (like Berdan's Sharpshooters, however, chose to "do their own thing" until war's end.)

the prison factory had no dye to dye them, so it was "left up to the troops in the field" to "deal with the problem". (most men chose to "dye" the white uniforms with nutshells and/or boiling them in muddy water.)
the "muddy-colored uniforms" turned out to be EFFECTIVE camouflage, according to some wartime letters!

until then, i'll simply continue to remind EVERYONE of your KNOWING DISHONESTY & RIDICULE you for being a LIAR, Turncoat.
laughing AT you.

Why not? You pretend all the time. Heck, I'd say that just about everything you post is imaginary, why shouldn't the legality of unilateral secession be any different?
Where's the book?
