Odd how purported conservatives in this day and time attempt to cover their PC indoctrination by just more loudly insisting upon a false narrative history. The facts remain: the Union fought to prevent slave states from leaving the Union, there can be no debate regardless of where or to whom your allegiances belong. The Union had four slave states: Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. The Union did not bother to amend the constitution to outlaw slavery while all those problematic slave states were in rebellion, far from it; the constitution was not amended to outlaw slavery until after the Civil War had ended. No one can dispute these facts, no matter what sort of weird leftist labels you try to apply, to those who insist upon historical accuracy.
Our amendment process was not intended to allow coercion of people to force them to vote like puppets of their masters in Washington DC.
Without this corruption of the amendment process, none of the Southern states would have voted for any of those amendments, and those amendments would not have passed.
We pretend they are legitimate, but no honest person would recognize the process that passed them as legitimate.
I find it remarkable that people who identify as Republicans and conservatives come to a conservative website venerating a bunch of treasonous , slave owning Democrats. Don’t you? Have a nice Thanksgiving .
