[Non-Sequitur]

There was no rebellion.

Sure there was. It was in all the papers.

Show me the documentation, show me the appeals from governors and legislatures declaring insurrection and calling for assistance from the federal government.

Irrelevant. They first defied and initiated an armed opposition to the authority of the federal government, and then they lost. That meets the definition of rebellion.

Show me, if you can. Of course, you can't.

I'll let history speak for me.

I'll let history speak for me.

Except for this part, no doubt:

"If you bring these [Confederate] leaders to trial it will condemn the North, for by the Constitution secession is not rebellion." -- Salmon P. Chase, SCOTUS Chief Justice, 1865 *

*Shelby Foote, The Civil War,Vol. 3, p. 726

....they lost. That meets the definition of rebellion. ....I'll let history speak for me.

Teleological fallacy and appeal to force in lieu of argument. Non-responsive. You lose.
