ROFL!!! Where did you attend school? Fisher Price University?
The United States exists today because they chose to "secede" from the British empire. The Declaration of Independence is the most famous act of secession in our history, though modern rhetoric makes "secession" sound somehow different from, and somehow more sinister than, claiming independence. Furthermore, three states (New York, Rhode Island and Virginia ratified the Constitution with the provision that they could later secede if they chose; the other ten states accepted this condition as valid.
It was not secession that was unconstitutional, but the suppression of secession. The North fought the Civil War by allowing its chief executive to exercise dictatorial powers, raising armies and money and suspending civil liberties without consulting Congress, ordering the arrest of Chief Justice Roger Taney, and even arresting the Maryland legislature and installing a puppet government. This was "government of the people, by the people, for the people"? What happened to "the consent of the governed"?
Of course, the Northern enemies of secession weren’t always rigid in their principles. They did allow a pro-Union part of Virginia to secede from Virginia. That’s how West Virginia was created. And since Virginia never ceded that territory as prescribed by the Constitution, that was the only real case of unconstitutional secession. To make matters worse, the North never admitted that Virginia had legally left the Union. How, then, could it be split without its legal consent?
After the war, the North forced the seceding states to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment as a condition of re-admission to the Union it insisted they had never legally quit! Yet most of those states had already ratified the Thirteenth Amendment, so they were apparently back in the Union after all!
The hypocrisy is dizzying. But wars aren’t necessarily won by the intellectually consistent.
Go play in the sand junior. The subject of history is apparently over your head.
I think Ol' Junior, here,and NonSquirter (Walt) are one in the same. Did you ever see them together? Spooky ain't it?
