"Okay, give your interpretation of both the Texas and Mississippi secession declarations"

I can point to more than two 1940s documents which would, taken out of historical context, make it appear that the only reason the US was at war with Japan was racism.

A responsible historian would not rely on documents drafted for public consumption in the passion of imminent warfare.

Nice try. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not talking about 1940. I'm talking about the secession declarations of those two States, which you still haven't answered.

Don't skirt the question. Answer it.

Nice try. What is required of you to form a valid analogy is two official statements by the United States Government declaring that the reason for going to war with Japan is that they're no-good g**ks.
