...as the authors of the secessionist documents represented NOBODY but themselves,your comment is again STUPID, mis-informed & off-point.

Baghdad Bob? Is that you?

Are you trying to say that those secession ordinances were not read in full and voted on in their respective legislatures?

since you are the one who keeps bringing up the documents, (which BTW most serious scholars DISCOUNT as un-important pieces of personal opinion-nothing more, nothing less)can you PROVE that any state did vote on the documents?

can you even PROVE that the private opinions/writings of a handful of wealthy planter-aristocrats were read by anyone but themselves & a few close friends?

hardly ANYONE read the "secessionist documents" in the WBTS period;fewer cared.in point of fact, most newspapers, rightly in my view, IGNORED the writings as UN-important.
