[Non-Sequitur]

secession was LAWFUL. lincoln started an UNJUST war to compel the FREE southern nation back into the union.

Actually unilateral secession was not legal, the war was started by the Davis regime, and the south reaped what it sowed.

[stand watie]

actually, Mr Minister, you are WRONG & you KNOW that you're WRONG.

the RIGHT of secession was NEVER ceded as a right of the states. it is STILL an option.

you/i have talked about this before. your argument was UN-persuasive then AND now.

the powers ceded by the states to the federal government were SPECIFIC.

not SPECIFICALLY CEDED = still reserved POWERS of each state.
