We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The very preamble tells you that this constitution is set in place to form a Union, which is what the South tried to destroy.
I dont care what you argue, the South lost, as it should have, and their attempt at destroying what is now the greatest nation on Earth was thwarted. And theres nothing in there that allows any State to disband that Union.
Get over it, or move out.
To all to whom these Presents shall come, we the undersigned Delegates of the States affixed to our Names send greeting. Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union between the states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts-bay Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Ahhh, but not a perpetual union. Perhaps you should ask the good folks of Massachusetts why they brought up the issue of secession if it was a perpetual union. Or check with the northern brethern and their discussion of secession during the War of 1812. Unmitigated ass? Corrupted version? I see, the name calling again. You know at least with some they'll cut and paste arguments about the issue. Mind you they're usually arguments from Socialists or Hitler (you know he believed in lincoln's cause too) but hell at least it has some meat to it. Here we've got name calling. The South didn't try to destroy the union in the first place did they? Oh, but we'll let those secession discussions up north slide because the only people that weren't all talk and actually followed through were Southerners.
Again I ask you to provide me with the pledge of allegiance to a symbol said by the majority of the Founding Fathers. Since you won't be able to, this discussion is over
