Why not? They announced their secession and adopted a constitution that protected slavery to an extent never dreamed of in the North. Why would they throw all that over the side and come slinking back?
Nevermind that the Upper South seceded only after Lincoln Davis chose to make war.
Fixed it for you.
Its truly amazing how some who claim to not be Leftists do everything they possibly can to worship at the feet of big government, try to centralize all power in the hands of Imperial Washington and go miles out of their way to denigrate the most reliably conservative/libertarian region in the country while doing so.
They aren't talking about Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. They're talking about the South.
the Confederate Constitution was not notably different from the federal constitution in protection of slavery. It was more express about it but Lincoln and the Northern dominated Congress were prepared to offer that anyway.
and of course it was Lincoln who chose to make war.
Yes they’re talking about the South....which has been ideologically consistent in opposing centralized power and favoring smaller government for well over 200 years.
