Hey, an article from the future. How did you do that?
Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the authority "for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions".
Succession is not insurrection.
Insurrection is insurrection. Which is what the Southern states did.
Wow, sounds like the so-called RevWar.
Please spell it right. ;-)
No. The states in the south did succeed from the union.
The US Constitution had no provision for that, therefore it was left to the states to do just that if they wished.
There is no insurrection of a government you do not belong to.
The “War of Northern Aggression” is the applicable term.
sorry
“How did you do that?”
I have a Delorean.
Aluminum beer cans work best, but in a pinch I can go Eco mode and burn olive oil.

Dinesh is a go-to guy if you want faked history cut and fit to serve present day partisan politics.
There often appears to be a contest between D’Souza and Glenn Beck to see who can peddle the most bull**** masquerading as history. They get away with it because most people haven’t read enough history to catch them at it. And I suspect it pays well and beats having to do honest work for a living.
Tell me why the Supreme Court did not take up any case when South Carolina ceded from the union?
The war against Confederate Treason
What treason is that?
I just bought Shelby Foote’s three volume set on the Civil War. I’m interested in learning about the events and communication methods that led to the event.
“Once in, always in”, an early and American version of the Brezhnev Doctrine.
In both cases if you objected, the powerful central government was eager and willing to slaughter you to correct your misperception.
Probably not a coincidence that OG commie Karl Marx was an ardent supporter of the 1860 episode.
“If that had not happened, there would have been no Appomattox.”
If the Declaration of Independence had not happened, there would have been no Appomattox.
So what does your statement mean?
Nothing.
Trying to leave and RIP apart the US. Confederates and the left are the same, they both hate the US.
Sumpter led to the disaster that was the war. All Appomattox was the last gasp of one side going down in total defeat.
What do you think got every individual government to sign off on a central point of governance of the states?
I think war for Southern Independence more fitting. After all, they were simply leaving an oppressive regime just like their fathers and grandfathers had done.
