You are getting warts confused with facts.

FACT 1: there was NO federal tyranny in 1860. The gov. and army were TINY.

FACT 2: Slavers had been working for secession for almost a decade.

FACT 3: Slavers fought the war ENTIRELY for fear of slavery being abolished.

FACT 4: Tariffs were not an issue and had been declining since 1828.

FACT 5: Firing on United States Military institutions was an act of War just as bombing Pearly Harbor or attacking the US on 911.

FACT 6: There is ONE way to change the Union or constitution and that is by amendment. Conventions called by state authorities have no legal basis for changing the Union. NO individual state action can change the Union.

FACT 7: The US Constitution gives the government the clear authority to suppress insurrection and put down rebellion. NO matter how it tries to dress its treason as reason.

FACT 8: Slavery was not on its way out and was the reason the South lagged in economic, social and educational development compared to even the poorest of Northern states.
Planters, the ruling class, wasted the riches they could achieve and preferred to keep the poor whites ignorant and illiterate.

FACT 9: Slavery was inhuman and degraded both master and slave. It also forced non-slave holder to man slave patrols. Hence it also enslaved non-slaveholders.

FACT 10: Had the Slavers succeeded the ENTIRE WORLD would have suffered since the greatest beacon of freedom in history would have been extinguished by a society hundreds of years behind it in every category of social development.

There are hundreds more facts ready to throw at you.

In fact, there is not ONE fact justifying fighting to retain slavery.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Had the south succeeded the Union would STILL have been saved, idiot. And most likely been a better place with states right fully restored. AND, because the slaves would’ve been educated and allowed to assimilate in their homeland. Which many of them did anyway despite the racists in the north and their tyrannical government.

I’m not getting warts, just pointing out your lies and lack of facts. You have NONE!
