This comes back to was the CSA a nation for real. Secondly why was Abe's Party so determined to provoke the CSA and why could the USA not exist without the seceded states being part of their union.
Saying once a state was part of the US then it could never leave is more akin to the way the Mafia thinks about membership and more like the Brezhnev Doctrine than the words of the Founders.
Hollywood in the 1930s was packed to the gills with Soviet agents.
Texan for #TEXIT
If you are a Texan, your support should be behind this initiative before it is too late.
Secede and never look back
Nikki is that you? First the came for Gen Lee and no one said a thing. When they get to tearing down Washington and Jefferson are you going to say anything then you sniveling coward?
It is relevant because secession is the last remedy that free people have.
Here we go again, stil fighting a war that ended 155 years ago. There are going to be another 100-200 posts arguing one side or the other. And nobody’s mind will be changed!
We need to focus on what we will do under the antipresident Biden’s regime. The entire country will be under attack, our freedoms in jeopardy. What can be done? Take action. Should we take actions to preserve our freedoms? We should, otherwise we will lose those freedoms.
President Trump is honestly elected; Biden is not. Is a government in exile the way to go?
I’m against iconoclasm.
I’m also against BS.
And britain certainly was interested in backing one side of the civil war if it could be successful and further british interests
Does anyone know where I can find the text of those five amendments?
Unless the Constitution either explicitly grants a power to the Federal government or prohibits that power from being exercised by the states, it’s a state or local power.
Nowhere does the Constitution say you can’t secede. In fact, the Union itself induced six counties to secede from Virginia, and thus from the Confederacy.
The Democrats’ view of minorities has not changed one iota since their party was founded about 200 years ago. All that has changed is the color of the hoods.
Yes, just listen to the state song.
Had Maryland seceded, Washington, DC would have been surrounded by Confederate territory.
We’re supposed to be a union of sovereign states. The stats created the Union.
Are we the Hotel California? “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”?
In an election in which there were two Democrat tickets, one headed by his old rival, Senator Stephen Douglas, the other by Vice President John C. Breckinridge.
It should be the last resort, but when all else fails, it needs to be available.
