“It was decided between 1861 and 1865 that the Constitution is a “once in, never out” document.”
I like to think of it as “Might is Right”. The South just had less might, but not anymore. The liberal north is weak and morally corrupt and has lost its manufacturing that gave it the advantage in the Civil War.
Winners write history. If the American Revolution had failed, George Washington and the rest of the Founding Fathers would have been tried for treason and executed by the British. We would have been taught in elementary school about their evil acts and how much better off we are as part of the British Empire.
