In all of Washington's extensive writings that I have read, he never spoke out against a right to secede. Show me where he did. Call it secession, revolution, or Jazzercize, the states reserved all rights not delegated to the Federal government for themselves.

You're asking me to prove something that never happened. No one even suggested unilateral state secession was legal during Washington's life.

He is strongly on the record that the Union not be abandoned for any reason.

If he said anything even remotely close to what -you- say, -you- need to show it.

You are really like a neo-reb crash test dummy, slamming into the wall of the historical record, over and over.
