Even though I mention it frequently, still virtually nobody has heard of it, or understands its significance.
Now I wish I could remember where I first saw the Confederacy's declaration of war, or the link to it, but I'm certain we've had many discussions of it, going back some years.
The neo-Confederate response is along the lines of, "oh, that wasn't really a declaration of war, just like Fort Sumter and the others weren't really acts of war..."
Here is my link to the Confederacy's Declaration of War on the United States.
Thanks much. If that’s not a formal declaration of war, I don’t know what would be.
