Naw....
I'm simply making the point that DiogenesLamp and his 1860 slavocrats who claimed and unlimited "Right of Secession" for themselves at the same time granted no such "Right" to others of their fellow countrymen & women, did they?
I thought you gratuitously threw in the comment about women not having the right to vote in the Confederate states because women's causes are so popular today and this, in some way, would wrong foot and retroactively disqualify the southern independence movement.
In fact, that is exactly what you are doing.
And I don't understand why since Union states were not championing women's right to vote. The 15th amendment, adopted years after federal bayonets bought brotherhood, prohibited states from denying the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
The 15th amendment and federal bayonets did not grant black women or white women the right to vote. That would come generations later. Before, during, and for some time after the 1860s southern thought on women's suffrage was very much in the American mainstream.
The North didn't grant women (or many blacks) the right to vote either.
If you are trying to draw a distinction between the Northern good guys and the Southern evil people, you need to pick one where there was a difference between the two groups.
