You only came up with 350 courts martial for sexual assaults. You're just out and out lying now. Just like you guys lied about people being shot for voting for McClellan in New York.
Please stop making this stuff up. The vote was nowhere near 100%. Even then, Dale Baum writes, "Most were former Whigs, Know-Nothings, or Houston supporters who boycotted the referendum balloting because they considered it unauthorized or believed their chances of preventing secession were hopeless." Dale Baum, The Shattering of Texas Unionism: Politics in the Lone Star State During the Civil War Era, Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana State University Press (1998), p. 45 "The allegations, made at the time by unionists and often repeated subsequently, that Texas secessionists coerced and silenced many voters or miscounted the votes to their advantage, were often sweeping and intensely emotional charges supported with little, if any, solid evidence. Typical of the generalized, but largely unsubstantiated, accusations were the charges made by unionist refugees that "many" of the reported secessionist majorities were "false" and that threats and intimidation caused "thousands" of anti-secessionists to vote for secession or not vote at all." Ibid., p. 58 "Evidence showing precisely where and how secessionists fraudulently smothered unionist sentiment remains not only impressionistic, but also uncorroborated." Ibid., p. 59 My prior post by Baum (#889) shows the opposite - that fraudulent results were obtained by unionists in Uvalde County among others.
At the conventions they got near 100%. It was a sham and in violation of Article IV Section 4.
The 350 number was for those found guilty of the specific charge of RAPE, An additiional 11,834 were for Section 134 offenses such as Assault-indecent, Assault with intent to commit rape, Assault with intent to commit sodomy, Indecent acts or liberties with a child, and/or Indecent acts with another.
Lowry noted that such charges were not normally levied if the victim was a slave.

Where specifically in Article IV or Federal Law does it state that ANY election obtaining near unanimous results are invalid? Are 9-0 court decisions invalid?
In re the near 100% vote, did:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
