We didn’t have the consent of the English, no.

But we had a moral basis for the dissolution, unlike the Confederacy.

And so, God saw fit to move His providential hand on behalf of our arms.

The 13 colonies all had slavery. What was their moral basis again? You know, those five words you keep reading out of the Declaration?

13 Slave holding Colonies vs the English Union which offered Freedom to the slaves. Which one was the morally superior in your "OMG! IT's all about Slavery!" calculus?
