Ahhhh, I love it. Took 72 posts until we got those linked. Thank God you didn't post them at least, I could quote them by heart. Tell me, since you didn't bother to read the rest of my post, how many states were in the Confederacy? 13 was it? And how many put slavery as A issue (not the) in their declaration of secession? 4? Again I asked for Declarations of Secession stating that slavery was THE issue from the other 9 states. Go look those up. You won't find them, because they're not there.

Hate to be a pain, but it was only 11 states that seceded. The 13 stars on the Confederate flag were for the 11 states that seceded and for the governments in exile from Missouri and Kentucky (neither of which seceded).
