It was intended for 'perpetual union' so expressed in the preamble

Unfortunately Lee was referring to the Articles, not the Constitution.

You know that's not true. Why on earth would the Articles matter in 1861? And Lee refers to the "safeguards" put in by the framers. Why would you tell a lie like that?

Yes. We've had this conversation with your interlocutor before. Lee, at his secretary, simply got it wrong.

Next someone will be quoting the Preamble again to "prove" that the Constitution amalgamated the States.
