The treasonous tantrum of the south was not even recognized by the Union. Secession was a hiccup in the history of the United States, but a necessary hiccup. After the war, any state that joined the union realized that statehood was for ever.

That was one hell of a hiccup.

I guess we'll see. The USA was designed as republic with a weak Federal Govt. and semi autonomous states with powers equal to the Federal. Through bloodshed and progressive indoctination, it has morphed into a Constitutional Dictatorship, the exact opposite of the orignal intent.

The stupid Yankees couldn’t even AGREE whether the Seceding States had left or not......

Lincoln’s belief was that they had never left, while the Radical Carpetbagger Republicans said they DID, and had to meet conditions to RE-APPLY for statehood. We should have told them all to “shove it” and fought a guerilla war until they were choking on their own blood!
