Once again, you have yet to answer my question regarding the idea that once states are in the Union, they must remain in it permanently. I know for a fact one of the conditions Texas stipulated for it's joining the Union was that if have the right of secession in it's constitution, and not only that, but I believe it also has the right to, at will, dissolve into five states.
Farragut still won't be getting a statue in downtown, and when the state's tallest building is opened, they are going to have a display of flags flying on the Water Street side. From what I understand, the exact same six flags that fly at Government Plaza will be flying there, and this will include the Republic of Alabama flag, and the Third National Flag.
So that will be two flags commemorating our role in the WONA, the Bourbon flag, the Spanish flag, the Union Jack and the current U.S. flag. Never mind the fact that every street sign downtown has the city seal emblazened on it, the seal including the two flags related to the war. Also of note, one of our cities largest M.G. parades is held specifically in honor of a man who defied federal authority during Reconstruction

You never asked me any such question just about Semmes. What question did you INTEND to ask me? I am aware of the claims about Texas but have seen no evidence. It would not be allowed to split without Congressional approval though of that there is no doubt since it is a Constitutional issue explicitly addressed long before Texas existed.
I have no more interest in celebrating those who committed Treason against the United States anymore than George Washington, James Madison or Alexander Hamilton would have. The idea that the CSA stood for anything but sheer Tyranny is absurd.
