RFL [sic] did exactly what he should have done, kept his oath to HIS state since it split from the others. At the time it split he ceased being a citizen of those United States because Virginia was no longer one of those states.

The Supreme Court ruled that none of the acts of secession had any force in law.

None of the rebels stopped being citizens.

(REL Proofread John, Proofread!) The Supreme Court ruled that none of the acts of secession had any force in law.

A supreme court that no longer had any jurisdiction over the southern states. None of the people of the south were rebels, they were citizens of a foreign country that the north attacked and conquered, thus destroying the union that our founding fathers designed
