Ridiculous to you, perhaps.

Why don't you explain to us how, out of all of written history, you, singularly, can demonstrate that the South never seceded and there never was a Confederacy.

(You're one of the Truthers too. right?)

If I google Abraham Lincoln I get 8,790,000 hits. If I google Jefferson Davis I get 2,160,000. Of course I can google my name and get 12,600 hits, so I wouldn't place too much emphasis on those stats.

It's that reading comprehension thing for you again. My Google search was a bit more narrow than yours and I copied the results directed from the Google results bar instead of making crap up like you and your surrogates did.

Directly from Google:

Results 1 - 10 of about 747,000 for jefferson davis confederate president

Results 1 - 10 of about 640,000 for abraham lincoln president

Notice that I searched for "jefferson davis confederate president" to eliminate all the jefferson davis' that weren't the Confederate president. I was actually more lenient with disHonest Abe.

Just for fun, let's Google "dishonest abe lincoln".................Results 1 - 10 of about 176,000 for dishonest abe lincoln

Shazam!!!!

Right here.

"Considered therefore as transactions under the Constitution, the ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. They were utterly without operation in law. The obligations of the State, as a member of the Union, and of every citizen of the State, as a citizen of the United States, remained perfect and unimpaired. It certainly follows that the State did not cease to be a State, nor her citizens to be citizens of the Union."

That's from the Texas v White decision. So if the Southern acts of unilateral secession were illegal and states did not cease to be states or their people citizens of the United States then it would follow that they did not secede and the so-called confederate states was a title adopted by a rebellious part of the United States and certainly not a sovereign nation in any respects.

Did you follow that?

Notice that I searched for "jefferson davis confederate president" to eliminate all the jefferson davis' that weren't the Confederate president. I was actually more lenient with disHonest Abe.

Maybe you shouldn't have been. Because when I apply the same standard and search on "Abraham Lincoln United States President" I get 1,820,000 hits. When I search on "Abe Lincoln President" I get 1,280,000 hits. Perhaps Abe isn't the dishonest one around here?

Shazam!!!!

You know what's even more fun? Google "Jeff Davis's War". 2,050,000 hits.

You don't have a clue, do you?

When you type Jefferson Davis confederate president, you get a lot of pages at the end of your search that have "confederate" and "president" in them but not "Jefferson" or "Davis."

Ditto if I typed Abraham Lincoln united states president.

That gets me 1,930,000 pages, and the last of them probably have "United States" and "President" but not "Abraham" and "Lincoln" on them.

The fair search is between "Jefferson Davis" and "Abraham Lincoln."

If you want you can compare "Jefferson Davis Confederate President" and "Abraham Lincoln United States President."

For whatever it's worth, Lincoln beats Davis in both competitions.

You end a lot of these exchanges telling people to go away.

Looking over your own dismal contributions to the discussion that sounds like good advice.

If you want to take it, now would be a good time for it.
