I could’ve sworn it was the United States that invaded the southern states and wage bloody war against Americans. All the southern states were doing was exercising their rights as Americans to withdraw from the federal compact, And create a new federal compact for the southern states to become a southern United States. The process itself was most democratic, as they say now. Every locality elected delegates to the state conventions which would answer the question of whether to succeed or not. It’s the same way the states gathered to agree to ratify the US Constitution in the first place. Oh well.
I could have sworn it was the confederate bombardment of FT Sumpter in Charleston Harbor that started the war. The union troops their refused to surrender to but did not shoot first.
Voting to keep other human beings in servitude is illegitimate. Period.
That is why we call it “The War of Northern Aggression!”
The Northern States were strangling the Southern States economically. War almost broke out in the early 1830s and early 1850s. By 1865, the situation was dire, and the South had to try to secede in order to regain its economic independence.
I am an American by birth, and Southren by the Grace of God, but, FRankly, am not displeased that the South lost the War of Northern Aggression.
HST, DamYankee is still one word! North Eastern LIEberals have been screwing the USA up since well before 1865!
The War of Northern Aggression is still on-going, and I do not expect it to end well.
For North Eastern LIEberals!
