[Non-Sequitur]

Denial of facts do not change the facts, in other words, just because Lincoln said that the South couldn't secede doesn't mean that they didn't secede.

They didn't. Their rebellion failed.

That's called War...

Indeed it is. And war, as the wise man once said, is hell. So why are you bitching and complaining because the war the South began came back to them?

What do you mean by the "so-called Confederacy"? Is this another example of denial?

I believe he's talking about the confederacy, small 'c'. Since it wasn't a country then it isn't a proper noun.

They didn't. Their rebellion failed.

My marriage failed. Does that mean I was never married?

Since it wasn't a country then it isn't a proper noun.

All historical and legal references disagree with you. All of them.

You're just another yankee floating down the river of denial.
