People have a right to exercise their rights for "silly, flimsy, groundless and absurd" reasons. Other people have no right to put conditions on the exercise of a right by others. The States had just as much right to leave Washington DC as they did to leave England, and the British also though the Colonists reasons for leaving were "silly, flimsy, groundless and absurd."
(From the New York World
The men who have undertaken, by the vilest treachery that history records, to break up the most beneficial government ever forged, ...
Certainly beneficial to New Yorkers. And Washington DCers.
Again I ask, what kind of cherries do you prefer, maraschino or bing?
Repeating that doesn't persuade me either. What we see here is what we always see when a Liberal President orders everyone to fall in line or go to prison. The New York times and the Chicago Daily news even now have their tongue up the @$$ of Biden, as they always have had with Liberal big government Presidents who keep their cities enriched with government money.
Note the unanimous voices of all the typical liberal "news" outlets on the topic of Covid19, the fraudulent 2020 election and the "insurrection!" of January 6. They are Liars all.
To recap:
Argumentum ad nauseam.
I’m not arguing the right to secession. Again, the question is what was the REASON that eleven states felt secession was JUSTIFIED. Little good can come from decisions based on “silly, flimsy, groundless and absurd” reasons. The American Revolution certainly wasn’t based on faulty logic.
As we continue to dispel the bogus reasoning of the Neo-Confederate Lost Cause mythology, the reason comes down to the only real threat to Southern wealth, the potential end of slavery.
To recap:
The reason for secession was the South’s desire to preserve slavery.
The trigger for secession was the election of Abraham Lincoln, which fed fear of the abolitionist foundation of the Republican Party.
The American Civil War began when units of the South Carolina Militia fired upon a Union fort in Charleston harbor.
Post #902 offers a keen understanding into DgenerateLamp’s lunacy. To him “secession” means breaking any bond, rending any agreement, rescinding any treaty, at any time, and for any reason. No matter the consequence. No matter the damages. No matter the cost. And all without protest or recourse by those damaged by this betrayal.
Pretty slick deal, doncha think?!
