The union was not a spider's web one fell into by deceit and became trapped unto death.

The union was not something to be changed for light or transient causes either

The articles of Confederation clearly state from the title line forward that the Union was Perpetual.

If you think the south was deceived into union with the north, then your grasp on history (and reality for that matter) is very weak indeed.

It was up to the State to determine what constituted a need to reassume those powers.

The articles of Confederation clearly state from the title line forward that the Union was Perpetual.

And the Articles with it. Apparently "perpetual" means 'about ten years', because that's how long they lasted.

If you think the south was deceived into union with the north, then your grasp on history (and reality for that matter) is very weak indeed.

I never said that, in fact I have said the opposite. Your comprehension skills are worse than waltrot's.
