Sigh.... once again, there were no rebels by that time and the bogus SCOTUS of the day was completely filled with Lincoln appointees and a couple of Confederate haters. Or are you one of those liberals who believe SCOTUS is always right no matter what...like on abortion and eminent domain?
NO ONE associated with the Confederate States or representing the Founding Fathers beliefs sat on the court. It was a Kangaroo SCOTUS.
And in over 100 years since then their decision has not been challenged except for occasional cranks who believe that, no matter what, the Slave Power is always right.
Slavery? The Slave Power is always right.
Rape of slaves? The Slave Power is always right.
Torture of slaves? The Slave Power is always right.
Kidnapping children? The Slave Power is always right.
Money loaned to support insurrection? The Slave Power is always right.
