(NS claims the South never seceded and the Confederacy never existed because a SCOTUS decision in 1869 ruled that secession was illegal. It's easy to understand why he's in a mental institute.)

NS is quite capable of speaking for himself, but I doubt he claims that the southern states never seceded de facto. I suspect his claim is that their secession was not constitutional and therefore was never in effect de jure.

Or at least that's my position.

Ask him.

You’ll need to explain de facto and du jure to him. Poor lad can barely limp along in English.
