“Then, you brought up Florida, conceding the point about Texas as well as some other states.”
I don’t remember “conceding the point about Texas.” Either you are confusing me with someone else or you are in hopes of legitimizing your own inference.
You made a broad generalization about “other” Southern states which was not quite right. For some reason, I knew Florida didn’t mention slavery in their ordinance of secession and brought it to your attention.
Yes, in 1860 Florida was a southern state.
The Florida ordinance of secession may be a small thing - but why not get it right?
sorry. the debate is over.
