The facts remain: 11 states voted legally to leave the Union.

Not all 11 voted to leave. And the Supreme Court later determined that their actions were illegal.

The Supreme Court led by the man whose actions and urgings pushed the union into war to destroy the Confederacy and reclaim the land. Not to mention the monies going into the US coffers

We have argued that point before, and you know it is total bullshit.

The states all called conventions which submitted the question to the people. THE PEOPLE.....they decided by vote to secede.

The Supreme Court deciding AFTER the fact doesn't have any bearing and YOU know it.
