[Non-Sequitur]

Then why do you always argue otherwise, idiot?

I've never argued otherwise, moron. It is you who claim there is a third way, unilateral secession without the consent of anyone.

You most certainly have, toad face.

Unilateral secession was a viable method on December 20, 1860 when the Great State of South Carolina unilaterally seceded.

Chase's 'opinion' didn't occur until 4 years after the end of the war, 9 years after the Great State of South Carolina unilaterally seceded and, of course, Chase was just a leetle bit biased being one of disHonest Abe's main boot lickers. Kinda like you, turd breath.
