No, we did not forget anything. The 'nations'you mentioned (don't forget the Vatican) are irrevalent as representing true international recogniation of the Confederacy as a nation.

I take it then that you do not consider the Vatican or Saxe Coburg Gotha to have been sovereign states? I am uninterested in what you think of their sizes, however it does concern me when you fib about their existence.

No one 'fibbed'about anything.

We had a number of posts which dealt with those states and the value of their recognition of the Confederacy as a nation.

Their recognition no more constituted a true recognition in the eyes of the national community then did those 'states'that recognized the colonies before France and Spain did.

It would be nice if you would stop using ad hominem attacks.
