All this revisionist crap concocting other reasons is transparently false to anyone with even a slight knowledge of history.

There is a reason it's called the War of Northern Aggression by some. Most of the legal scholars of the day believed that a state had the right to secede from the Union. The way this was done was for that state to repeal its ratification of the Constitution. Some of the Founding Fathers said as such.

Do us a favor and quit spouting the revisionist dog crap they teach in public schools. As I've said earlier, this attitude you have is what cost Kerry the election. Any other smart-assed politician that wants to take that attitude can expect similar results. And as for you, you can expect to ignored as the raving lunatic you are.

Unfortunately for "...most of the legal scholars of the day..." their understanding of the Constitution was not that of the Founders. This inability to understand the basic document led to the destruction of the South and its evil and anti-American system.

NONE of the Founders believed the State could repeal its ratification. Madison blew that fallacy out of the water in his letter to Hamilton during the NY State Ratification Convention.

How typical to blame my regard for the truth on public schools this is the argument of a man with nothing to say except the crackpot theory of history. The public schools I attended where in the deep South wherein a love of the Cornfederacy was paramount. Those delusions are easily overcome when a concern for truth overwhelms petty resentments and no conern for justice.

Your threat to ignore me is hilarious since you bozos cannot help flaunting your ignorance of history.

An oft voiced opinion, but let me point out that with the exception of South Carolina and Georgia the 7 rebelling southern states ratified nothing. They were admitted. They were allowed to join, and only after a majority of the other states permitted them to do so through a vote in Congress. They were, in effect, created by the other states when admitted to the Union. So since they were allowed to join only with the permission of the other states then why shouldn't the other states have a say when they want to leave?

Do us a favor and quit spouting the revisionist dog crap they teach in public schools.

But by all means bring on your southron myths. They're fun to refute.
