Dear Glenn Beck: Confederate Constitution mentions the word slavery ONE time.
Confederate Constitution ^ | 6/25/10 | Central_VA

Posted on 06/25/2010 4:31:27 PM PDT by central_va

Open Message to Mr. Beck (self proclaimed historian). Tonight on your TV show you said that you read the Confederate Constitution and I paraphrase "it had slavery written all over it, all about slavery blah blah blah". You are incorrect sir, I did a word search on the document and the word slavery appears "one" time. Everyone can try it for themselves at the link provided below.

CS Constitution

Can never trust a Yankee, even a goofy entertaining one.

The by all means take Lincoln's word. Take it here, too:

"An attempt will be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions only; and that, if such attempt be not resisted, no effort to throw in men, arms, or ammunition will be made." -- Message to Governor Pickens.

The rebel response was war, a demand for Sumter's surrender made on April 11th and followed by the bombardment two days later.

In the meantime... they left the peace Commission waiting. Odd things, yankee are.

Winfield Scott:

" You have been designated to take command of an expedition to reinforce and hold Fort Pickens in the harbor of Pensacola. You will proceed to New York when steam transportation for four companies will be engaged; and putting on board such supplies as you can ship without delay proceed at once to your destination. The object and destination of this expedition will be communicated to no one to whom it is not already known." April 1st

There was no peace commission. There were a couple of guys in town to deliver the confederate ultimatums. The two are not the same.

If by 'obdurate' you mean dense as a trees tump and dumber than a box of rocks then yes, they are indeed obdurate.

Diaper rash is likely what has “You Ain’t Galt” so grumpy. Maybe someone should call the ward nurse?

Care to "scroll up" to Post #659, and acknowledge that you're just spewing bullsh!t - as usual?

Hmmm?

Of course not. No big deal: we all know that "post [bullcrap] & run" is your standard operating procedure...

His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.

So you believe that a state's sovereignty is something granted to them by monarchs?

Vermont (at least) begs to differ.
