The Sovereign citizens of those seven states who formed the Confederate States of America and the Sovereign citizens of those states who later feely joined them THATS who!
Do you actually maintain that some OUTSIDE entity must recognize such an action for it to be legitimate?
Yes, actually. You claim the confederacy was a legitimate government while I maintain that it was as rebellious section of the United States. Historically, the entire world agreed with me. Again, you can call youself whatever you want but unless someone else agrees with you then claims mean absolutely nothing to anyone but you.
