But completely relevant to the South's reason for starting the war.

The North invaded the South. The South did not invade the North. (till much later.)

The reasons why the North sent armies into the South is why there was a war. What the South was doing internally prior to that is irrelevant to why Northern armies invaded them.

The Supreme Court disagreed with your somewhat eccentric analysis of the Constitution and Article IV.

No rational person gives a sh*t what a War court frighted of Lincoln claims, and most especially we do not give a sh*t when it clearly contradicts the actual wording of the Constitution itself.

I can read. You can read. Don't pull this "appeal to authority" crap when the meaning is clearly not in dispute. Freeing slaves was illegal under the US Constitution. Even if you could make an argument that it was legal during the war, you cannot make a valid argument that it was legal after the war, because it is expressly forbidden according to Constitutional law.

Or more accurately, a case of refusing to accept a Supreme Court decision as valid because you don't like it.

My liking it has nothing to do with it. My being able to read is all it takes. So long as any state had a law requiring servitude, the constitution requires they be returned to the people to whom their labor is due under that state's law.

It doesn't have a "but....but...but Rebellion!" clause in there anywhere. Even the assertion of "Rebellion" does not stand up to an honest grasp of the term.

As Chief Justice Salmon P Chase said, "Secession is not rebellion."

"Rebellion" was a Lincoln created propaganda tool, and he would arrest people who disagreed with him publicly.

And the U.S. invaded Japan. Had Japan not started the war then the U.S. wouldn't have invaded anything.

Rationality seems to be in short supply in your posts. Every decision you disagree with is automatically wrong. Every justice you dislike is automatically biased.

My liking it has nothing to do with it. My being able to read is all it takes.

Only if we accept your opinion as fact, which given your track record is very, very hard to do.

As Chief Justice Salmon P Chase said, "Secession is not rebellion."

Legal secession is not rebellion. Rebellion is rebellion. The South engaged in the later.
