“Preserving” the Union with grapeshot and double canister is a bit of a contradiction, isn’t it?

Ever since the phrase “states rights” has been mocked and the object of hatred. Contradiction that the assumption of States Rights is one of the foundations of the Constitution.

Yeah, thats crazy,,forcibly preserving a relationship where one party wants to amicably leave. Why, that’d be like,,forcing people to work on your farm against their will, or something nutty like that.

No. “Preserving” the integrity, beauty, morale, economy, population, etc. of the South with grapeshot and double canister wouldn’t be possible, but preserving the Union would be. That is, so long as something survived.
