Still trying to figure out how you could have been so wrong about Hitler?

To the contrary, Walt. I'm still trying to figure out how you could act the part of an idiot in the way you do with regards to Hitler and everything else while simultaneously keeping a straight face.

There were 11 so-called seceded states. All of them did not draft "ordinances of secession."

Of the ones that did, (only 4 of the first 7) they did not all call their secession documents "ordinances of secession."

To the contrary. Here's all 11 plus the 2 rump convention documents: http://americancivilwar.com/documents/ordinance_secession.html

Notable among those is Mississippi, who called theirs a "declaration of causes."

Wrong document, Walt. The Mississippi ordinance's opening line reads "AN ORDINANCE to dissolve the union between the State of Mississippi and other States united with her under the compact entitled "The Constitution of the United States of America."

So you are caught in another false statement.

Not in the least. You have been exposed as a fool though...yet again.

I was right. Even on the link you provide, all the documents are not styled as ordinances.

But the Mississippians made their intent plain. Slavery was the issue. Only a sophist would say otherwise.
