was the DAMNyankee controlled Congress legitimate because the southern states had lawfully seceded and a quorum existed without those states???

Again you seem incapable of asking the right question. The secession of the southern states was illegal, but since a quorum of congress is a simple majority, they were fully capable of having a quorum without the southern representatives.

Here are the numbers:

Size of congress, as determined by 1860 census: 241

Number necessary for a quorum: 122

Number of southern representives; 63

Remaining congressmen: 178.

On the senate side, 22 senators walked out leaving 48. 36 would be enough for a quorum.

i think you should go check that. ONE of the many complaints of the REVISIONIST LEFT was that the Congress (without the south) was made ILLEGITIMATE.

of course, yoyu wouldn't know that answer, any more than you know any other answers, as you're just a TROLL.

You forgot Kansas. There were 50 senators left. And 183 Congressmen.
