Which is different from 1777 how? And what sort of large point are we supposed to draw from the reluctance of foreign countries to brown off the Lincoln Administration?

Don't you dare bring up our revolution (when I say our, I mean the American revolution, not yours).

You Neo-Confederates have rejected the Declaration (defending Dred Scott and Calhoun) and your revolt was to defend the right to keep tyranny not end it.

The United States did eventually get recognition from major powers, the confederates never did.

Garbage. There can be no greater rejection of the Declaration than the use of force to deny the consent of the governed, and Lincoln did just that.
