The Souf' should have thought about that before firing on Fort Sumter. Next time I'm sure you will. In the meantime the 14th Amendment is in place ~ although it is frequently misread.

The same Fort Sumter that was reinforced by the Union to facilitate tax collection in South Carolina? That Fort Sumter?

Let's see, returning southern states were required to pass the 13th Amendment in order to return to the Union. Then after they had returned, they voted against the 14th and then their votes were thrown out and Washington/Oregon was pushed through to provide the needed votes to pass the 14th.

How could anyone not think this is illegal?
