On May 6, 1861 Confederates declared themselves to be at war against the United States. That and that alone ended all lawful discussion of secession in Union states like Maryland.

You are not reading carefully. I didn't say "Maryland", I said "Mayland." It was an area in one of the Southern states that did not support the Confederacy, and caught hell from both sides.

Regardless of your pro-Confederate fantasies, the Civil War was declared officially over by President Johnson on August 20, 1866.

Well, like the Democrats, you won't bow to reality, but will instead define everything in such a manner that it can be forced to fit what you wish to believe.

Sorry FRiend, but the Civil War officially ended when President Johnson said it ended, whether that date conforms with your pro-Confederate arguments or not.

August 20, 1866.
