[Non-Sequitur]

I have to admit you must be losing badly when you turn an eligibility thread into a civil war thread so that you can argue against Neo-Confederates.

Before shooting off your mouth, I submit that you should have taken the time to scroll up the thread a ways to reply 246. If you would had done so then you'd have seen that it was lentulusgracchus who turned this into a Southern rebellion thread and not I. And for the lamest of reasons, too. Are you suggesting I should just have ignored them? That wouldn't be very polite, would it?

Is it germane to the thread, if it is not by all means ignore them, you wouldn’t want to be trolled would you?

“Every state has the liberty of granting or refusing to foreigners the power of possessing lands or other immovable property within her terrority.” Law of Nations

Since England and other European states claimed neutrality....between the Confederate States and the federal government..this is an acknowledgement..the CSA is a country.

South Carolina seceded..the federals at that time became foreigners.

Once South Carolina left..all property in her domain reverted to her.

This is the Law of Nations. It was an offense against the Law of Nations when Anderson seized the works.

Non-Sequitur, at least you defend Obama and Lincoln with Equal Enthusiasm. There can't be any favoritism amongst your present and past Illinois Usurpers.
