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.

You claimed that no foreign country recognized the CSA. That claim is false because a country did recognize the CSA even if it was a small one. You also knew that to be so, yet made your false claim anyway leaving me no choice but to conclude that you were fibbing. You tried to lie and got caught. Get over it.

The text of the purported "diplomatic recognition" if the CSA by Coburg-Saxe Gotha has never been, to my knowledge, posted by any of the southrons. It is claimed that such a document is on display at an obscure museum.

It would be interesting to see what such text reveals - in context and in full. If it is similar to the so-called "diplomatic recognition" given by the Vatican, then it is, in effect, no recognition at all. The most telling factor regarding any so-called "recognition" is that no nation or state ever exchanged ambassadors with the CSA.

It seems that when the "citizens" of a "nation-state" crave recognition (even 140 years after the fact), any bit of over-hyped fiction will do.
