Happy Secession Day!
July 4, 2024 | DiogenesLamp

Posted on 07/04/2024 1:01:10 PM PDT by DiogenesLamp

On this day 248 years ago, 13 slave owning states seceded from the Union, (United Kingdom/Union of Crowns) Formed a Confederacy (See Articles of Confederation) and fought against the Union for their Independence.

The Union forces offered Freedom to the slaves (See Lord Dunmore's proclamation), while the Rebel forces were led by a slave owning General from Virginia. (See George Washington).

On July 4, 1776, they released a document called the Declaration of Independence, and the principles stated therein were accepted by the nation for "Four Score and Seven Years", after which the nation cast these ideas aside, and insisted upon eternal fealty to the now much more powerful, much more corrupt, National government.

No more "Independence" would ever be allowed.

And here we are today. The greatest threat to our freedoms is now the very national government which before 1861 was constrained.

Ping. Might as well point out that today we are celebrating the right to secede from a Union.

A right we lost in 1861.

They celebrate Lincoln for stealing our sovereignty. Look at his monument in Washington. If I were POTUS Trump, I would remove it since it is an awful reminder of what could have been.

Get this through your silly lost cause head. Trump’s hero is Andrew Jackson. Jackson would have crushed the rebellion in mounths. How dare you peddle you nonsence on the Bithday of The United States.

Although he was a young boy, Jackson did everything he could to fight the British during the War of Independence. He hated them.

Jackson fought for the Rebel cause in 1776.

Washington believed steadfastly in the Union. He would NOT have allowed any part of the Nation to brake away.

They were captured by them right after the civil war. They've been there ever since.

Rebellion against the British is different than trying to tare apart the US. Jackson wanted to tear the traitors heads from thier bodies.

Washington fought against the Union. He was the lead officer in charge of the fight for independence.

Not if you are a subject of the United Kingdom.

To the British, Washington was a rebel and a traitor. He helped tear apart the United Kingdom.

The Republic died in a small house next a county court house in central virginia in 1865.
