    Nikki Haley Seemingly Forgets Slavery
    When Asked to Name Cause of Civil War
    Dec. 27, 2023


    Republican presidential candidate
    Nikki Haley steadfastly avoided
    bringing up slavery when asked
    during a New Hampshire town hall
    Wednesday what caused the Civil
    War-and when confronted by a
    voter who felt her omission was
    "astonishing," she was puzzled
    by his concerns.

    "I mean, I think the cause of
    the Civil War was basically how
    government was going to run-the
    freedoms and what people could
    and couldn't do," said Haley,
    who then asked the questioner
    what he believed the cause of
    the war to be.

    "I'm not running for president,"
    the man replied. "I wanted to
    see your view on the cause of
    the Civil War."

    Haley then basically reiterated
    her prior answer, saying, "I
    think it always comes down to
    the role of government."

    Moments later, the individual
    in the audience reacted with
    dismay by Haley's comments.

    "In 2023, it's astonishing
    to me that you would answer
    that question without
    mentioning the word 'slavery,'"
    he said, which prompted Haley
    to appear unsure what his
    point was.

    "What do you want me to say
    about slavery?" she said with
    her palm facing upward.

    But that remark apparently
    said it all. "You've answered
    my question," the man responded.

    Haley then moved on, saying,
    "Next question."

    Florida and Texas children are taught that the civil war was all about the south defending themseles from northern agression over how Lincoln wanted
    to steal their oranges, cotton and whatever useless shit Texas had to
    offer in those days.

    Was about very high taxes imposed by Lincoln
    (The National Union Party, now called Republican party)
    On the southern states which reacted by planning secession by six of
    the then 15 states.
    Slavery was just used as a excuse to stop succession and justify a
    war.

    Nope. The Articles of Succession of the majority of Confederate States specifically said Sleavery was the issue.

    ==========
    1.) Democrats (the party that included most all Southern politicians) controlled Congress leading up to the Civil War (they lost the House in
    1859) and had a Democratic president in the "doughface" Buchanan. (The
    term being one that suggests a Northern with Southern sympathies.)

    2.) The Tariff of 1857 was authored and supported by Southern legislators
    (the primary author was Virginia Senator Robert Mercer Taliaferro Hunter,
    who would later be pictured on the Confederate $10 bill) and it lowered
    tariffs to a level they hadn't hit in 50 years.

    ============
    Debunking the Civil War Tariff Myth

    In debunking the tariff myth, two key points quickly illustrate how the
    tariff issue was far from a cause of the Civil War:

    1. The tariff issue, on those rare occasions in which it was even
    mentioned at all, was utterly overwhelmed by the issue of slavery within
    the South’s own secession conventions.
    2. Precisely because southern states began seceding from December
    1860 onwards, a number of southern senators had resigned that could
    otherwise have voted against the tariff bill. Had they not resigned, they
    would have had enough votes in the Senate to successfully block the
    tariff’s congressional passage.

    https://imperialglobalexeter.com/2015/03/02/debunking-the-civil-war- tariff-myth/

    note:
    Nor was the tariff myth’s transatlantic conception immaculate. As I’ve previously noted, it was crafted by canny Southern agents in the hopes of confounding British public opinion so as to obtain British recognition of
    the Confederacy:

    So transgender is like the Civil War?!!

    But when it comes to gender:
    ==========
    Married woman, 25, who had been trying to fall pregnant for a year is
    shocked to learn she was born a MAN

    The Chinese woman was told by doctors that she has the male Y
    chromosome
    She had never doubted her sex because of her ostensibly female
    genital organs
    Doctors say the 25-year-old is now reconsidering her gender identity

    The woman, whose name was given as Pingping, was told she had a condition called a '46 XY disorder of sexual development' in which people with male chromosomes have ambiguous, underdeveloped or missing genital organs.

    Because the woman had ostensibly female organs, she had never questioned
    her sex, and had turned a blind eye to the fact she had never
    menstruated.

    Doctors informed her that she had no uterus or ovaries, which explained
    why her 12-month effort to get pregnant had ended in disappointment.

    But she also had no male genitalia or testes, with doctors saying that
    these might have existed once but 'degenerated and atrophied'.

    ============
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Ordinance of Secession

    An Ordinance of Secession was the name given to multiple resolutions[1]
    drafted and ratified in 1860 and 1861, at or near the beginning of the
    Civil War, by which each seceding Southern state or territory formally
    declared secession from the United States of America. South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas also issued separate documents purporting
    to justify secession.

    This might then have a metalogic / jurisprudent bearing on the PALESTINIAN
    / ISRAELI CONFLICT in which HAMAS is engaged as OPERATION AL AQSA FLOOD and
    so we include a brief commentary on such. Given the ROMAN worldview of 1
    AD being both the implementation of the 365.25 days solar Julian calendar
    and a 19 year metonic cycle, it is possible to view the THEORY OF NUMBER
    (@1 - 505 CE, @5 - 671 CE) IMMATERIALITY as having a chronological
    dependency (ie. the KABBALAH MALKUTH AS 505 CE THEN EQUATES TO HORUS IN THE BIPARTITE NUMBER NOMENCLATURE v's TETRA #54 - UNITY IN THE TRIPARTITE NOMENCLATURE IN ADDITION TO BEING A META DEFINITION FOR NUMBER) associated
    to the traditional account, the Islamic prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca,
    an important caravan trading centre, around the year 570 CE. The start of
    Islam is marked in the year 610, following the first revelation to the
    prophet Muhammad at the age of 40.

    The Arab raid against Rome took place in 846 CE. Muslim raiders plundered
    the outskirts of the city of Rome, sacking the basilicas of Old St Peter's
    and St Paul's-Outside-the-Walls, but were prevented from entering the city itself by the Aurelian Walls. The Arabs struck following the *TIBER*
    *RIVER* and the Ostiense and Portuense roads, as the Roman militia hastily retreated to the safety of the Roman walls.

    IF THE BIRTH OF MUHAMMAD IN 570 CE - #505 (10x10) = #65 - INNER / JIHAD <-- CULT OF PERSONALITY?

    IF THE RAMPAGE AGAINST ROME IN 846 CE - #671 (11x11) = #175 - EQUATES TO

    defeated the 'Roman Empire' in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople. For centuries the Seljuks and then Ottomans had been eating away at Byzantine territory.

    Nikki Haley Seemingly Forgets Slavery
    When Asked to Name Cause of Civil War
    Dec. 27, 2023


    Republican presidential candidate
    Nikki Haley steadfastly avoided
    bringing up slavery when asked
    during a New Hampshire town hall
    Wednesday what caused the Civil
    War-and when confronted by a
    voter who felt her omission was
    "astonishing," she was puzzled
    by his concerns.

    "I mean, I think the cause of
    the Civil War was basically how
    government was going to run-the
    freedoms and what people could
    and couldn't do," said Haley,
    who then asked the questioner
    what he believed the cause of
    the war to be.

    "I'm not running for president,"
    the man replied. "I wanted to
    see your view on the cause of
    the Civil War."

    Haley then basically reiterated
    her prior answer, saying, "I
    think it always comes down to
    the role of government."

    Moments later, the individual
    in the audience reacted with
    dismay by Haley's comments.

    "In 2023, it's astonishing
    to me that you would answer
    that question without
    mentioning the word 'slavery,'"
    he said, which prompted Haley
    to appear unsure what his
    point was.

    "What do you want me to say
    about slavery?" she said with
    her palm facing upward.

    But that remark apparently
    said it all. "You've answered
    my question," the man responded.

    Haley then moved on, saying,
    "Next question."

    -asked-to-name-cause-of-civil-war

    Florida and Texas children are taught that the civil war was all about the south defending themseles from northern agression over how Lincoln wanted
    to steal their oranges, cotton and whatever useless shit Texas had to
    offer in those days.

    Bullshit. It was actually about the North telling
    the South what they could and could not do
    and refusing to let the south leave the union.

    it was about the North saying the South couldn't spread their institution
    of slavery to the West.

    Slavery was just used as a excuse to stop succession and justify a

    To this day Confederate sympathizers successfully float this false
    claim, along with their preferred name for the conflict: the War Between
    the States. At the infamous Secession Ball in South Carolina, hosted in December by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, "the main reasons for
    secession were portrayed as high tariffs and Northern states using
    Southern tax money to build their own infrastructure," The Washington
    Post reported.

    These explanations are flatly wrong. High tariffs had prompted the Nullification Controversy in 1831-33, when, after South Carolina demanded
    the right to nullify federal laws or secede in protest, President Andrew Jackson threatened force. No state joined the movement, and South
    Carolina backed down. Tariffs were not an issue in 1860, and Southern
    states said nothing about them. Why would they? Southerners had written
    the tariff of 1857, under which the nation was functioning. Its rates
    were lower than at any point since 1816.

    The myth about high taxes was simply propaganda aimed at Europe to gain recognition as an independant nation.

    After the war a great many former slaves were unemployed,


    That right there exposes the propaganda - it implys that the slaves were "employed" - slavery is NOT employment.

    So what's your claim?

    There's plenty of Civil War scholars that do say it was about slavery.

    Bull-fucking-shit, you filthy cocksucker. Lincoln was inaugurated March 4, 1861.
    South Carolina (December 20, 1860), Mississippi (January 9, 1861), Florida (January 10, 1861), Alabama (January 11, 1861), Georgia (January 19, 1861), Louisiana (January 26, 1861), and Texas (February 1, 1861) all seceded before then. All the rest of the traitor states had seceded by June 8, 1861. The first national income tax was established until August 1861, and it was not "high" —
    it was 3% on income above $800. Few people earned $800 per year in that era. Carpenters and blacksmiths — skilled trades — earned about $550 per year; unskilled laborers earned about $300. That's assuming 60 hours a week, 52 weeks a year.

    Fuck off with your Nazi lies, you sthitbag.

    So what's your claim?

    Its there above.

    "telling the South what they could and could not do" is very vague - and
    false as the South was much in control of the government in the lead up
    to the Civil war.

    As to succession - that had already been decided in court - leaving the
    union was not an option.


    There's plenty of Civil War scholars that do say it was about
    slavery.

    And plenty more who know it wasnt.


    Clearly you haven't read the ones who completely tore apart your claims.

    Most of the former slaves went back to work for wages - as your excerpt
    below illustrates:


    <https://www.britannica.com/topic/African-American/The-Civil-War-era>
    or https://t.ly/XtfFu
    After the Civil War, the freedmen were thrown largely on their own
    meagre resources. Landless and uprooted, they moved about in search of
    work. They generally lacked adequate food, clothing, and shelter. The Southern states enacted Black codes, laws resembling the slave codes
    that restricted the movement of the former slaves in an effort to
    force them to work as plantation labourers-often for their former
    masters-at absurdly low wages.

    Those meagre resources weren't much different than they had as slaves.

    On top of that around a third or more Freed slaves died from smallpox!

    ===========

    Abstract

    This chapter focuses on the smallpox epidemic, the most devastating medical crisis that erupted throughout the South after the Civil War, and how it claimed the lives of thousands of freed slaves from 1862 to 1868. It argues that the epidemic resulted in large part from the inefficiencies of
    Freedmen’s Bureau hospitals to establish effective quarantines and conduct vaccinations as well as the federal government’s neglect of freedpeople’s health. It considers the high mortality rates caused by the smallpox
    epidemic, and how they were interpreted by federal officials, Southern planters, and both the Northern and Southern press as signs of the
    extinction of the black race. The chapter also cites the federal
    government’s lack of effort in addressing the outbreak of the virus
    throughout the South.

    BULLSHIT.

    No, *not* bullshit, Half Speed:

    At least one quarter of the four million former slaves got sick or
    died between 1862 and 1870, Professor Downs writes, including at
    least 60,000 (the actual number is probably two or three times
    higher, he argues) who perished in a smallpox epidemic that began
    in Washington and spread through the South as former slaves
    traveled in search of work — an epidemic that Professor Downs
    says he is the first to reconstruct as a national event.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/11/books/sick-from-freedom-by-jim-downs -about-freed-slaves.html

    You are full of shit, Half Speed.

    With a Smallpox epidemic they would have died anyway - there status as slave/free had nothing to do with it.

    Nope.  The Articles of Succession

    Nice malapropism but you probably should know that it's the "Article
    of Secession" aka the Ordnance [sic] of Secession.

    The *ordinance* of secession. "Ordnance" is military weapons and
    ammunition. If you're going to lecture people about malapropisms, you'd better not use any yourself.


    Fair comment and I'll pay that gotcha moment to yu whilst also noting

    The reason is called macaroni sedition by sole impetus of greed (ie. that
    you continue to declare gun rights over human life is testimony to such)
    and none of the colonialist states established by 1493 papal bull had
    succeeded from their masters as republics so what precedent was there for language not to be considered ipso facto of sovereignty?

    <http://www.grapple369.com/Groundwork/Dalek%20Revival.pdf>

    How stupid of Americans not to get the declaration of independence written
    in French 🇫🇷 and once they did their own king over around 1798 you would be able to rightfully convey a sovereignty without the encumbrance as
    psychosis being rooted in "right to bear arms" as civilian militia.

    Bullshit! I posted detailed reference that showed otherwise. Southern Democrats were in control of Congress and the Courts - and it was the
    South that set the taxes/tariffs.

    I really do hate to say anything in support of pretzel who is the
    village idiot of aus.pol but having read some of the states articles of secession, he does have a point about tariffs. It was just another one
    of many items that pissed them off.

    ==========
    To this day Confederate sympathizers successfully float this false
    claim, along with their preferred name for the conflict: the War Between
    the States. At the infamous Secession Ball in South Carolina, hosted in December by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, "the main reasons for
    secession were portrayed as high tariffs and Northern states using
    Southern tax money to build their own infrastructure," The Washington
    Post reported.

    These explanations are flatly wrong. High tariffs had prompted the Nullification Controversy in 1831-33, when, after South Carolina demanded
    the right to nullify federal laws or secede in protest, President Andrew Jackson threatened force. No state joined the movement, and South
    Carolina backed down. Tariffs were not an issue in 1860, and Southern
    states said nothing about them. Why would they? Southerners had written
    the tariff of 1857, under which the nation was functioning. Its rates
    were lower than at any point since 1816.

    Bullshit! I posted detailed reference that showed otherwise.

    of secession, he does have a point about tariffs. It was just another

    The US President does not have the power to impose tariffs - that is the provence of Congress. Note also any tariffs would apply to all - not
    just the South.

    To show that taxes/tariffs to have been an issue, you need to show that
    tariffs were exceptionally high on only items imported to the South

    ===========
    Over the years, some people have claimed the real cause of the American
    Civil War was a generally forgotten law passed in early 1861, the Morrill Tariff. This law, which taxed imports to the United States, was said to
    be so unfair to southern states that it caused them to secede from the
    Union.

    This interpretation of history, of course, is controversial. It
    conveniently ignores the subject of enslavement, which had become the
    dominant political issue in America in the decade preceding the Civil
    War.

    So the simple answer to common questions about the Morrill Tariff is, no,
    it was not the "real cause" of the Civil War.

    And people who claim a tariff caused the war seem to be trying to
    obscure, if not ignore, the fact that enslavement was the central issue

    Where then is sovereignty with its faithful encumbrance as psychosis being rooted in "right to bear arms" as civilian militia?

    I never mentioned the POTUS imposing tariffs. And obviously tariffs do

    The fact that the South was more agricultural and the North was more
    industrial is precisely why there could be a negative impact on one side
    or the other depending on which goods were selected and to which the
    tariffs would be applied. Exactly the same thing applies even today in

    To show that taxes/tariffs to have been an issue, you need to show that tariffs were exceptionally high on only items imported to the South

    No war is ever just about one issue. It's much more nuanced than "the

    did states rights, as did slavery.

    I'm also sure that there was a social resentment aspect too as the
    southern states felt more 'put upon' over time. Not that I'll ever
    bother to die in a ditch to defend that off the cuff comment - people
    will either understand why I said that or they'll fall out of their tree
    to say how wrong I am.

    And people who claim a tariff caused the war seem to be trying to
    obscure, if not ignore, the fact that enslavement was the central issue

    Nope.  The Articles of Succession

    Nice malapropism but you probably should know that it's the "Article of >>>>>>> Secession" aka the Ordnance [sic] of Secession.

    The *ordinance* of secession. "Ordnance" is military weapons and

    Fair comment and I'll pay that gotcha moment to yu [sic] whilst also noting

    I didn't see the post. I seldom read posts from that person.
    LOL.  He's new to me so I'll read him for a while. Those groups in the cross

    Bugster ("Baxter") is part of your team, but he's an idiot. He's even an idiot

    Hmmmmmmm.  No idea what you mean by my team.

    Left-wing goofballs.

    Never seen him before.

    He's been around a long time. Maybe he hasn't been involved in prior threads that get cross-posted to Aussie groups.

    could have vetoed the tariff

    Florida and Texas children are taught that the civil war was all about
    the south defending themseles from northern agression over how Lincoln
    wanted to steal their oranges, cotton and whatever useless shit Texas
    had to offer in those days.

    Was about very high taxes imposed by Lincoln
    (The National Union Party, now called Republican party)
    On the southern states which reacted by planning secession by six of
    the then 15 states.
    Slavery was just used as a excuse to stop succession and justify a >>>>>>>>>>> war.

    Nope.  The Articles of Succession

    Nice malapropism but you probably should know that it's the "Article of
    Secession" aka the Ordnance [sic] of Secession.

    The *ordinance* of secession. "Ordnance" is military weapons and >>>>>>>> ammunition. If you're going to lecture people about malapropisms, you'd

    You have read probably 5 posts from me and yet you form the view that I'm a 'left-wing goofball.

    ============
    Fact #4: The Civil War began when Southern troops bombarded Fort Sumter,
    South Carolina.

    When the southern states seceded from the Union, war was still not a
    certainty. Federal forts, barracks, and naval shipyards dotted the
    southern landscape. Many Regular Army officers clung tenaciously to their posts, rather than surrender their facilities to the growing southern
    military presence. President Lincoln attempted to resupply these
    garrisons with food and provisions by sea. The Confederacy learned of
    Lincoln’s plans and demanded that the forts surrender under threat of
    force. When the U.S. soldiers refused, South Carolinians bombarded Fort
    Sumter in the center of Charleston harbor. After a 34-hour battle, the soldiers inside the fort surrendered to the Confederates. Legions of men
    from north and south rushed to their respective flags in the ensuing
    patriotic fervor.

    Not knockin' your points; however, one should always keep in mind that
    the winners of a war get to write its history.

    Haley should have taken a Biblical lesson and asked her interrogator:
    "Who won the Civil War?" and then followed with: "What do *they* say
    the caused the war?" That question was an *obvious* trap... "Render, therefore, unto the victors the spoils of war!" When you're presented
    with a simplistic question, it's always a trap.

    You've wandered off the reservation and are no longer making any sense.

    Again: the CAUSE of the Civil war was slavery (not taxes)
    ============
    Historians who address the origins of the American Civil War agree that
    the preservation of the institution of slavery was the principal aim of
    the 11 Southern states (seven states before the onset of the war and four states after the onset) that declared their secession from the United
    States (the Union) and united to form the Confederate States of America
    (known as the "Confederacy"). However, while historians in the 21st
    century agree on the centrality of the conflict over slavery—it was not
    just "a cause" of the war but "the cause" according to Civil War
    historian Chris Mackowski[1]—they disagree sharply on which aspects of
    this conflict (ideological, economic, political, or social) were most important, and on the North’s reasons for refusing to allow the Southern
    states to secede.[2] Proponents of the pseudo-historical Lost Cause
    ideology have denied that slavery was the principal cause of the
    secession, a view that has been disproven by the overwhelming historical evidence against it, notably the seceding states' own secession
    documents.[3]

    The principal political battle leading to Southern secession was over
    whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the Western territories destined to become states.

    (and to your BS:)
    Nationalists in the North and "Unionists" in the South refused to accept
    the declarations of secession. No foreign government ever recognized the Confederacy. The U.S. government, under President James Buchanan, refused
    to relinquish its forts that were in territory claimed by the
    Confederacy. The war itself began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate
    forces bombarded Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, South
    Carolina.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_American_Civil_War

    ==========

    Repeat:
    "The war itself began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces
    bombarded Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina."

    Well, I have no clue what you mean by "what constitutes a STRAW". I
    think you mean when people finally say: "Fuck it!" and open fire, and
    the distinction of having fired the first shot was won by the South
    Carolina militia at Ft. Sumpter. Politically, it was a poor choice.
    Ft. Sumpter was meaningless from a military perspective because it was undefensible against an attack from the land-side; its guns were all
    fixed and zeroed on the harbor channels... the Union would have been
    forced to abandon the position soon anyway because resupply would have
    been impossible. That event cost the Union nothing and allowed them
    to say that the South Carolina militia attacked first.

    This becomes a big deal when you're trying to convince the European
    navies to stay home and let the 'Muricans sort out their own problems.

    The South had three primary issues, and being labeled the aggressor
    (whether true or not) internationally was but one of them. Slavery
    was another; England and France both disliked the idea of buying
    cotton produced by slave labor or supporting a government explicitly
    based on slavery. Finally, the South had over-produced cotton in the
    latter half of the '50s, the European market was glutted, and the
    prices had collapsed; European warehouses were full of cotton in 1860,
    thus they could easily sit this one out.

    The South fought well; however, they never really had a snowball's
    chance of actually winning in the long run.

    Of course, that's the history written by Northern historians. Had the
    South not been forced to surrender, I'm sure the account would have
    been completely different. In that version, Ft. Sumpter might have
    been holding Charleston hostage to be liberated by the heroic Southern artillery.

    Slavery, Not States' Rights, Caused Civil War Whose Political Effects
    Linger

    https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2011/04/12/135353655/slavery- not-states-rights-was-civil-wars-cause

    =============
    Myth: The Civil War was about States’ Rights

    When the 11 states seceded from
    the Union in 1860, they published
    statements with their reasons.
    The following quotes from the
    “Declaration of Causes of Seceding
    States” shows that slavery was
    a main concern:

    Mississippi: “Our position is
    thoroughly identified with the
    institution of slavery—the greatest
    material interest of the world.”

    Louisiana: “The people of the slave
    holding States are bound together
    by the same necessity and determi-
    nation to preserve African slavery.”

    Texas: “The servitude of the African
    race, as existing in these States,
    is mutually beneficial to both
    bond and free, and is abundantly
    authorized and justified by the
    experience of mankind


    Since the Civil War, some have
    attempted to reframe the main
    cause of the conflict by focusing on
    states’ rights or other issues, such
    as taxes and tariffs. This may be
    because it’s painful to accept the
    truth that millions fought to uphold
    a cruel and inhuman system. It may
    be because people want to believe
    the best about their state or region.
    Or it may be due to prejudice. The
    historical evidence makes it clear,
    however, that the Civil War was
    fought mainly over the issue of
    slavery, and that the Confed
    erate
    cause was the continuation of
    white supremacy

    Only if you don't have a clue about what actually caused it.

    Clearly you don't. I'll trust the Civil War scholars on the subject -
    and they say Slavery was the primary issue.

    Do you know what the word "PRIMARY" actually means??? If you do, you'd
    know that using that word blows a hole in your previous sentence

    I never mentioned the POTUS imposing tariffs.

    Maybe *you* didn't, but the taxes meme going around specifically
    blames
    Lincoln.

    So? I'm not posting memes so that is not relevant to anything I've
    said.

    You're repeating the meme. What you're saying is that you gullibly
    grabbed only part of that meme.

    Yoohoo! Earth to the Baxter baby. Do try to grow up and act like an
    adult. More than one person at a time can think or share the same
    thought. Your one eyed attachment to "it's only about slavery" is
    presumably not a meme and it would be rude of me (as it is of you) to
    say you gullibly grabbed only part of that particular "it's only about
    slavery" meme. People, other than you also say that the civil war was
    only about slavery, but like you, that is too simplistic.


    And yes you CAN say that the Civil War was about Slavery.

    I never would say that.

    That's because you're ignorant

    Thankfully, not as ignorant or as one eyed as you.

    I'd add in a lot of other factors as well.

    Go ahead and name them AND their importance. a cause that's over 50% is
    THE cause.

    Already done so and done so so repeatedly.


    And
    if you thought through that straw that broke the camel's back comment
    yu
    made then that could very well have been the Morrill tariff. And no,
    before you get what I write all mixed up again, I'm not stating that
    that particular straw was the Morrill tariff but just following through
    the logic of your comment.

    I must go and check out when the Morrill tariff was passed and when
    Fort
    Sumter was attacked. I do know it passed after at least some sates had
    seceded.


    Actually, I posted - it was passed BEFORE any states succeeded,

    They "seceded". Stop parading your ignorance and inability to get the terminology correct. And yet again you are wrong. The Morrill Tariff
    only got up because by the time the vote was taken on it, seven states
    had already seceded.

    and by
    President Buchanan, a Democrat. If the South was that opposed Buchanan
    could have vetoed the tariff

    Fraid so.

    ============
    Fact #4: The Civil War began when Southern troopsbombarded Fort
    Sumter, South Carolina.

    That was nothing even remotely like a STRAW
    any more than Hitler's attack on Poland or the
    Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was.


    You've wandered off the reservation and are no longer making any sense.

    Again: the CAUSE of the Civil war was slavery (not taxes)
    ============
    Historians who address the origins of the American Civil War agree that
    the preservation of the institution of slavery was the principal

    "Principal"!!!!!!!!! I know I'm wasting my time, but that word means it
    was the main thing, not the ONLY thing.

    aim of
    the 11 Southern states (seven states before the onset of the war and four states after the onset) that declared their secession from the United
    States (the Union) and united to form the Confederate States of America (known as the "Confederacy"). However, while historians in the 21st
    century agree on the centrality of the conflict over slavery—it was not just "a cause" of the war but "the cause" according to Civil War
    historian Chris Mackowski[1]—they disagree sharply on which aspects of
    this conflict (ideological, economic, political, or social) were most important, and on the North’s reasons for refusing to allow the Southern states to secede.[2] Proponents of the pseudo-historical Lost Cause
    ideology have denied that slavery was the principal cause of the
    secession, a view that has been disproven by the overwhelming historical evidence against it, notably the seceding states' own secession
    documents.[3]

    The principal

    Yep, there is that word again. MAIN thing, not the ONLY thing.

    political battle leading to Southern secession was over
    whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the Western territories destined to become states.

    (and to your BS:)
    Nationalists in the North and "Unionists" in the South refused to accept
    the declarations of secession. No foreign government ever recognized the Confederacy. The U.S. government, under President James Buchanan, refused
    to relinquish its forts that were in territory claimed by the
    Confederacy. The war itself began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate
    forces bombarded Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, South
    Carolina.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_American_Civil_War

    And to address your own particular bullshit, you should have read your
    cite further down where it says: "As a panel of historians emphasized in
    2011, "while slavery and its various and multifaceted discontents were
    the primary cause of disunion, it was disunion itself that sparked the
    war."[7] Historian David M. Potter wrote: "The problem for Americans
    who, in the age of Lincoln, wanted slaves to be free was not simply that southerners wanted the opposite, but that they themselves cherished a conflicting value: they wanted the Constitution, which protected
    slavery, to be honored, and the Union, which was a fellowship with slaveholders, to be preserved. Thus they were committed to values that
    could not logically be reconciled."[8]

    Other important factors were partisan politics, abolitionism,
    nullification versus secession, Southern and Northern nationalism, expansionism, economics, and modernization in the Antebellum period."




    ==========

    Repeat:
    "The war itself began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces
    bombarded Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina."

    Clearly you don't. I'll trust the Civil War scholars on the subject
    - and they say Slavery was the primary issue.

    Do you know what the word "PRIMARY" actually means??? If you do,
    you'd know that using that word blows a hole in your previous sentence that:"And yes you CAN say that the Civil War was about Slavery."


    Apparently you don't know what "primary" means. If it's 90% slavery,

    political battle leading to Southern secession was over
    whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the Western
    territories destined to become states.

    (and to your BS:)
    Nationalists in the North and "Unionists" in the South refused to
    accept the declarations of secession. No foreign government ever
    recognized the Confederacy. The U.S. government, under President
    James Buchanan, refused to relinquish its forts that were in
    territory claimed by the Confederacy. The war itself began on April
    12, 1861, when Confederate forces bombarded Fort Sumter, in the
    harbor of Charleston, South Carolina.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_American_Civil_War

    And to address your own particular bullshit, you should have read your
    cite further down where it says: "As a panel of historians emphasized
    in 2011, "while slavery and its various and multifaceted discontents
    were the primary cause of disunion, it was disunion itself that
    sparked the war."[7] Historian David M. Potter wrote: "The problem for Americans who, in the age of Lincoln, wanted slaves to be free was not
    simply that southerners wanted the opposite, but that they themselves cherished a conflicting value: they wanted the Constitution, which
    protected slavery, to be honored, and the Union, which was a
    fellowship with slaveholders, to be preserved. Thus they were
    committed to values that could not logically be reconciled."[8]

    Other important factors were partisan politics, abolitionism,
    nullification versus secession, Southern and Northern nationalism, expansionism, economics, and modernization in the Antebellum period."


    Ah, yes now you want to argue "the meaning of 'is'". In general
    parlance, if something is "Primary" or "main" than that is the cause -
    the elephant in the room - anything else is irrelavent.

    Yeah, there always is that one incident that starts the violence.

    Fantasy.

    In out Civil War it was Fort Sumpter.

    Bullshit.

    Really?!!!

    Fraid so.

    ============
    Fact #4: The Civil War began when Southern troopsbombarded Fort
    Sumter, South Carolina.

    That was nothing even remotely like a STRAW
    any more than Hitler's attack on Poland or the
    Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was.

    You've wandered off the reservation

    There is no reservation and no straw.

    and are no longer making any sense.

    You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag.

    Again: the CAUSE of the Civil war was slavery (not taxes)

    Never said it was taxes.

    The CAUSE of the Civil War was States' Rights vs Federal Supremacy.

    No, it wasn't. That's only gloss. The cause was slavery. A state "right" to maintain slavery was the only "right" they cared about.

    I've posted multiple references that say the American Civil War was about slavery. And you've posted ziltch to support your claim.

    Well there's this, directly from Abe's lips:

    "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not
    either to save or destroy Slavery. If I could save the Union without
    freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all
    the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and
    leaving others alone, I would also do that."

    Already did, states rights and sessesion.

    And the States Rights and seccession are connected directly to slavery.


    And what Abe said so clearly proves that it was actually about
    sessesion, not slavery,

    Abe didn't start the war - and again, succession is tied directly to
    slavery. Without slavery issue there is no succession.

    We know that it *was* only about slavery, Half Speed. The traitor states said in
    their secession declarations that they were seceding over slavery and the threat
    they thought Lincoln posed to it even before he was inaugurated.

    It was about slavery, Half Speed. When you hear some bullshit about "states' rights," the only "right" they're concerned with preserving is the right to keep
    slaves. That's it — there is no mention of any other "right" they felt was threatened.

    It was about slavery, Half Speed, you drunken wallaby fucker.

    No, Half Speed, Lincoln did not say that. Preservation of the Union, i.e. reversing secession, was why Lincoln was willing to prosecute the war. But the war was *caused by* slavery, Half Speed. The southern traitor states seceded *because* of slavery and their fear that Lincoln was going to move to abolish it. That's the reason, Half Speed.

    Left-wing goofballs.

    You have read probably 5 posts from me and yet you form the view
    that I'm a 'left-wing goofball.

    I've seen your left-wing goofballery going back more than 20 years.
    Do the names Derek Nash and Rat&Swan and 'usual suspect' and 'frlpwr'
    and 'Lotus' and David Harrison not ring any bells?

    WTF???????  You are deluded.

    Nope.


    Until a few days ago, I've never seen your name anywhere

    I used a different pseudonym then.

    and none of those names you've typed ring any bell whatsoever.

    You interacted with all of them in alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian

    I've never posted in that group and I certainly don't remember ANY of
    those names at all.

    and
    misc.rural back in 2000-2005. You occasionally used to post with last
    names back then (Higham, 'Snortilus').

    I also don't remember posting into that group but certainly if it was
    rural, it sounds like something I'd be interested in.

    It's the appropriate response to propaganda from appologists.

    You wouldnt know what propaganda was if it bit you on your lard arse.

    all of this Civil War apologia came after the war in an effort to take
    the blame off the South and put it on the North.  Just playing victim.

    Lincoln did not say the war wasn't about slavery, you wallaby-fucking liar.

    LOL. Yep, it is indeed propaganda when a thick apologist keeps spouting
    that "it's ONLY about slavery" but who also posts cites on the same day
    that shoot a hole in that meme.

    I particularly like the holes you blown by:"preservation of the

    and "Slavery was the primary issue".

    You obviously know it wasn't the only reason but can't join the dots yet

    Roddles would have read Lincoln's first inaugural address which was

    That's the post-Civil War propaganda from the South.

    Nope, the South said that before the civil war
    happened and that wasnt just about slavery.


    I've posted multiple references that say the American Civil War was
    about slavery.

    Not one of them actually says that the civil war was ONLY about
    slavery.

    Go ahead, detail these other things the Civil War was about.

    Already did, states rights and sessesion.

    And the States Rights and seccession are connected directly to slavery.


    And what Abe said so clearly proves that it was actually about
    sessesion, not slavery,

    Abe didn't start the war - and again, succession is tied directly to
    slavery. Without slavery issue there is no succession.

    A waste of time suggesting it I know, but read Lincoln's first inaugural speech.

    There is no reservation and no straw.

    You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag.

    Again: the CAUSE of the Civil war was slavery (not taxes)

    Never said it was taxes.

    The CAUSE of the Civil War was States' Rights vs Federal Supremacy.

    Yep, what I said right at the start.

    Slavery was the primary expression,the trigger and the rallying

    The last was more the reason for the sessesion.

    And there was never anything even remotely like a STRAW

    And, yes, WWI was started by a single instant (the assassinationof

    Nope, It was actually the alliances and stupid royals
    that turned that single event into a full world war.

    You proving my point.


    And yes you CAN say that the Civil War was about Slavery.

    Only if you don't have a clue about what actually caused it.

    Clearly you don't. I'll trust the Civil War scholars on the subject
    - and they say Slavery was the primary issue.

    Do you know what the word "PRIMARY" actually means??? If you do,
    you'd know that using that word blows a hole in your previous sentence
    that:"And yes you CAN say that the Civil War was about Slavery."


    Apparently you don't know what "primary" means. If it's 90% slavery,
    that other 10% is irrelavent.

    You really are astoundingly ignorant.

    Primary means first or highest in importance, main, principal.

    So, cretin, 90% is the highest in importance NOT that it's the ONLY
    issue involved.

    You should reread what he wrote and then ask someone to explain it to
    you because

    I know what he said. I know he didn't say the war wasn't about slavery.

    I know what he said about preserving the union was said during the war, you fatuous left-wingnut goofball twat. That doesn't change the fact — the incontrovertible fact — that he *never* said the war wasn't about slavery. So,
    it's settled: Lincoln never said the war wasn't about slavery.

    The war was about slavery. Slavery is why the traitor states seceded (they said as much), slavery was why the traitor states started the war, and so slavery is why the war was fought.

    Hmmmmmmm.  No idea what you mean by my team.

    Left-wing goofballs.

    You have read probably 5 posts from me and yet you form the view
    that I'm a 'left-wing goofball.

    I've seen your left-wing goofballery going back more than 20 years.
    Do the names Derek Nash and Rat&Swan and 'usual suspect' and
    'frlpwr' and 'Lotus' and David Harrison not ring any bells?

    WTF???????  You are deluded.

    Nope.


    Until a few days ago, I've never seen your name anywhere

    I used a different pseudonym then.

    and none of those names you've typed ring any bell whatsoever.

    You interacted with all of them in alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian

    I've never posted in that group and

    You replied to posts to misc.rural that were cross-posted to that group,
    and those people I mentioned did as well, and those replies went back to misc.rural.

    So? Just because they did doesn't mean I remember the names you mentioned.

    and misc.rural back in 2000-2005. You occasionally used to post with
    last names back then (Higham, 'Snortilus').

    I also don't remember posting into that group but

    Then you're suffering from early dementia. You posted to it regularly.
    Here's a post to that defunct a.a.e.v. group in which you *state* that
    you participated in misc.rural:

    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian/c/JKUkm31FEOE/m/G38ioFh5BQAJ

    All of those posts seem to be into aus.politics no that defunct group.
    I remember Jon Ball (and yes, I must have posted to misc.rural). I
    commented on my remebering Jon Ball and yet you've conflated that into
    some fantasy.

    This straying far afield from the fact that I know who you are, and have
    seen your left-wingnut goofballery for more than 20 years.

    I'm happy that I made a lasting impression. And, as a well known
    centrist (only called anything else by the resident village idiots of
    aus.pol) I have no issue with being misidentified by any insular
    American rightard.

    What ABE said so clearly was not after the war, fool.

    Lincoln did not say the war wasn't about slavery, you
    wallaby-fucking liar.

    Obviously you don't.

    Baxter:..."this Civil War apologia came AFTER the war...
    Roddles:..."What ABE said was NOT AFTER the war, fool."

    The discussion into which you butted was about TIMING of when certain
    things were said as you might be able to figure out if you weren't such
    a fixated pervert.

    Hmmmmmmm.  No idea what you mean by my team.

    Left-wing goofballs.

    You have read probably 5 posts from me and yet you form the view that I'm
    a 'left-wing goofball.

    I've seen your left-wing goofballery going back more than 20 years. Do the
    names Derek Nash and Rat&Swan and 'usual suspect' and 'frlpwr' and 'Lotus'
    and David Harrison not ring any bells?

    WTF???????  You are deluded.

    Nope.


    Until a few days ago, I've never seen your name anywhere

    I used a different pseudonym then.

    and none of those names you've typed ring any bell whatsoever.

    You interacted with all of them in alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian

    I've never posted in that group and

    You replied to posts to misc.rural that were cross-posted to that group, and >> those people I mentioned did as well, and those replies went back to misc.rural.

    So?  Just because they did doesn't mean I remember the names you mentioned.

    and misc.rural back in 2000-2005. You occasionally used to post with last >>>> names back then (Higham, 'Snortilus').

    I also don't remember posting into that group but

    Then you're suffering from early dementia. You posted to it regularly. Here's
    a post to that defunct a.a.e.v. group in which you *state* that you
    participated in misc.rural:

    https://groups.google.com/g/alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian/c/JKUkm31FEOE/m/G38ioFh5BQAJ

    All of those posts seem to be into aus.politics no that defunct group. I remember Jon Ball (and yes, I must have posted to misc.rural).

    You posted there frequently. It may have been cross-posting, but you were there.
    I'm right and you're wrong.

    I commented on my remebering Jon Ball and yet you've conflated that into some fantasy.

    They were cross-posted to a bunch of groups, and you replied to *lots* of posts that were cross-posted to the same groups. So you're lying if you say you don't remember any of those group participants, or the groups. You remember them...unless you're suffering early onset dementia. Which is it?


    This straying far afield from the fact that I know who you are, and have seen
    your left-wingnut goofballery for more than 20 years.

    I'm happy that I made a lasting impression.  And, as a well known centrist

    You are not a centrist. You are a socialist far-left-wing goofball. Although I'm
    sure you would omit "goofball" from the description, I suspect you would *agree*
    with all the rest...but it doesn't matter if you would or wouldn't. I know what you are, going back more than 20 years, and you are a far-left socialist goofball. This is settled.

    He's right. They did.

    Roddles:..."What ABE said was NOT AFTER the war, fool."

    The discussion into which you butted was about TIMING of when certain things were said

    And about when certain things were *never* said. Lincoln *never* said the war was not about slavery. You lose.

    all of this Civil War apologia came after the war in an effort to take

    What ABE said so clearly was not after the war, fool.

    Lincoln did not say the war wasn't about slavery, you wallaby-fucking liar.

    He's right. They did.

    Well at least you finally have half of it figured out.

    I have all of it figured out, Fat Fran...including you.


    Roddles:..."What ABE said was NOT AFTER the war, fool."

    The discussion into which you butted was about TIMING of when certain things
    were said

    And

    There was no "and" involved

    There was, Fat Fran.


    about when certain things were *never* said. Lincoln *never* said
    the war was not about slavery. You lose.

    I didn't.

    You did, Fat Fran — just as you always lost back in misc.rural and alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian. Go dig them up, Fat Fran — you always lost (and
    you never denied being fat/obese, either).

    with last names back then (Higham, 'Snortilus').

    I also don't remember posting into that group but

    Nope, the South said that before the civil war
    happened and that wasnt just about slavery.


    I've posted multiple references that say the American Civil War was
    about slavery.

    Not one of them actually says that the civil war was ONLY about
    slavery.

    Go ahead, detail these other things the Civil War was about.

    Already did, states rights and sessesion.

    And the States Rights and seccession are connected directly to slavery.

    Maybe, maybe not. Certainly we can't trust your assertions since you've
    already been shown to be wrong in such assertions.

    So tell me.. today.. are you claiming there are no state rights? I mean if
    they are connected as you claim, then states would have no rights.

    Further according to you a state could secede only due to slavery..

    Is that why the American Revolution occurred? Slavery?

    That's what you are implying.

    Which they did only because of Abe actions to resupply, and massively re-enforce the garrison there.

    At which point that fort would have been a major threat to both the shipping and the community of Charlestown.

    Seems slavery then was NOT the cause of the Civil War then now was it?

    Whoever taught you American History is wrong - they taught you

    Says the person who claims the Civil War was over slavery.. after just admitting it started over something else.

    Oh bullshit! You're just full of it.

    What a stunning line in rational argument you have there, child


    It's the appropriate response to propaganda from appologists.

    You wouldnt know what propaganda was if it bit you on your lard
    arse.

    all of this Civil War apologia came after the war in an effort to
    take the blame off the South and put it on the North. Just playing
    victim.

    What ABE said so clearly was not after the war, fool.


    You think Abe was God?! What he thought and what the traitorous South
    thought were two different things.

    The *secession* — not "seccession", not "succession", not *any* of the wrong shit you fuckers keep writing — was *because* of slavery. When you talk about *secession*, you're talking about slavery, because slavery was the *sole* reason
    for *secession*. *Secession* was not about any other "states' rights" apart from
    the "right" [sic] to preserve slavery. It was not about "tradition vs change." It was not about "southern [shithole cracker] heritage". *Secession* was purely about slavery. Because *secession* led to the war, and because *secession* was caused by slavery, it is correct to say the war was about slavery. This is settled.

    The entire fucking lot of you drunkenly and ignorantly arguing over this need to

    Nope, the South said that before the civil war

    I've posted multiple references that say the American Civil War >>>>>>>> was about slavery.

    Not one of them actually says that the civil war was ONLY about
    slavery.

    Go ahead, detail these other things the Civil War was about.

    Already did, states rights and sessesion.

    And the States Rights and seccession are connected directly to
    slavery.

    But Abe said very clearly that sessesion
    was the cause of the civil war, not slavery.

    And whatever those 3 slave states said is completely irrelevant
    given that it was ABE that declared war on the confederacy.

    And what Abe said so clearly proves that it was actually about
    sessesion, not slavery,

    Abe didn't start the war

    Of course he did.

    - and again, succession is tied directly to slavery.

    It was never the only reason the confederacy
    chose to sessede and caused ABE to go to war.

    Without slavery issue there is no succession.

    Without ABE choosing to go to war to preventsecession, there would have >>> been no civil war.

    The South had already posted their articles of succession, the North
    refused to recognize the succession until the South fired on Fort

    succinct and definitive:
    =============
    The Lost Cause of the Confederacy (or simply the Lost Cause) is an
    American pseudohistorical[1][2] negationist myth[3][4][5] that claims the
    cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was just,
    heroic, and not centered on slavery.[6][7] First enunciated in 1866, it
    has continued to influence racism, gender roles, and religious attitudes
    in the Southern United States to the present day.[8][9] The Lost Cause's
    false historiography – much of it based on rhetoric mythologizing Robert
    E. Lee's heroic status – has been scrutinized by contemporary historians,
    who have made considerable progress in dismantling many parts of the Lost
    Cause mythos.

    Beyond forced unpaid labor and denial of freedom to leave the
    slaveholder, the treatment of slaves in the United States often included
    sexual abuse and rape, the denial of education, and punishments such as whippings. Families were often split up by the sale of one or more
    members, usually never to see or hear of each other again.[10] By turning
    a blind eye to these realities, Lost Cause proponents re-imagine slavery
    as a positive good and deny that alleviation of the conditions of slavery
    was the central cause of the American Civil War, contrary to statements
    made by Confederate leaders, such as in the Cornerstone Speech.[11]
    Instead, they frame the war as a defense of states' rights, and as
    necessary to protect their agrarian economy against supposed Northern aggression.[12][13][14] The Union victory is thus explained as the result
    of its greater size and industrial wealth, while the Confederate side is portrayed as having greater morality and military skill.[11] Modern
    historians overwhelmingly disagree with these characterizations, noting
    that the central cause of the war was slavery.[15][16][17]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy

    ============
    Any claims that Slavery wasn't the central cause of the American Civil
    War are Lost Cause bullshit propaganda

    The Lost Cause of the Confederacy (or simply the Lost Cause) is an
    American pseudohistorical[1][2] negationist myth[3][4][5] that claims
    the
    cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was
    just
    ,
    heroic, and not centered on slavery.[6][7] First enunciated in 1866,
    i
    t
    has continued to influence racism, gender roles, and religious
    attitud
    es
    in the Southern United States to the present day.[8][9] The Lost
    Cause
    's
    false historiography – much of it based on rhetoric mythologiz
    ing Robert
    E. Lee's heroic status – has been scrutinized by contemporary
    historians,
    who have made considerable progress in dismantling many parts of the
    L
    ost
    Cause mythos.

    Beyond forced unpaid labor and denial of freedom to leave the
    slaveholder, the treatment of slaves in the United States often
    includ
    ed
    sexual abuse and rape, the denial of education, and punishments such
    a
    s
    whippings. Families were often split up by the sale of one or more
    members, usually never to see or hear of each other again.[10] By
    turn
    ing
    a blind eye to these realities, Lost Cause proponents re-imagine
    slave
    ry
    as a positive good and deny that alleviation of the conditions of
    slav
    ery
    was the central cause of the American Civil War, contrary to
    statement
    s
    made by Confederate leaders, such as in the Cornerstone Speech.[11]
    Instead, they frame the war as a defense of states' rights, and as
    necessary to protect their agrarian economy against supposed Northern
    aggression.[12][13][14] The Union victory is thus explained as the
    res
    ult
    of its greater size and industrial wealth, while the Confederate side
    is
    portrayed as having greater morality and military skill.[11] Modern
    historians overwhelmingly disagree with these characterizations,
    notin
    g
    that the central cause of the war was slavery.[15][16][17]

    Any claims that Slavery wasn't the central cause of the American

    Pity about what ABE, who actually decided to go to war said so
    clearly.

    mine, is the momentous issue of civil war."

    I also don't remember posting into that group but

    All of those posts seem to be into aus.politics no that defunct

    You posted there frequently. It may have been cross-posting, but
    you were there. I'm right and you're wrong.

    Same old Jon.

    Not me, not a pseudonym I've ever used. But thanks for confirming
    everything I've said about you.


     I commented on my remebering Jon Ball and yet you've conflated
    that into some fantasy.

    They were cross-posted to a bunch of groups, and you replied to
    *lots* of posts that were cross-posted to the same groups. So
    you're lying if you say you don't remember any of those group

    suffering early onset dementia. Which is it?

    Without looking at the cross post list here,

    So, you admit to being a Usenet incompetent, Fat Fran. Good...because
    you are.

    I post into aus.pol and one other group.

    And numerous others, even though you're too stupid to realize it.

    Although I'm sure you would omit "goofball" from the description, I
    suspect you would *agree* with all the rest...but it doesn't matter

    How are Les Petomanes going?

    Never heard of that, Fat Fran. You're wrong about who I am, Fat Fran,
    but I know who you are, Fran Higham/Snortilus. *HA HA HA HA HA*

    Tsk tsk Jon.

    Not me, Fat Fran.

    It sure is your Jon. You've given yourself away by calling me 'Fat
    Fran'. I always got a laugh out of that because calling me that in a
    text only group was amazingly dimwitted.

    Don't lie!

    I haven't, Fat Fran. LOL!

    You're wrong, Fat Fran, but I'm not. I know who you are — Fat Fran
    Higham — but you don't know who I am. You're not even close, Fat Fran.

    all of this Civil War apologia came after the war in an

    He's right. They did.

    Well at least you finally have half of it figured out.

    I have all of it figured out, Fat Fran...including you.


    Roddles:..."What ABE said was NOT AFTER the war, fool."

    The discussion into which you butted was about TIMING of when
    certain things were said

    And

    There was no "and" involved

    There was, Fat Fran.


    about when certain things were *never* said. Lincoln *never* said
    the war was not about slavery. You lose.

    I didn't.

    You did, Fat Fran — just as you always lost back in misc.rural and alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian. Go dig them up, Fat Fran — you always
    lost (and you never denied being fat/obese, either).

    Snort. I don't deny being Idid Amin or Donald Trump either. You really

    Nope, the South said that before the civil war

    I've posted multiple references that say the American Civil War was >>>>>>> about  slavery.

    Not one of them actually says that the civil war was ONLY about

    Go ahead, detail these other things the Civil War was about.

    Saving the Union.. See above.

    Oh, that's right according to you it was ONLY about slavery...

    The only way Jon Ball reaches that conclusion is to completely ignore
    Lincoln's own words. Then again, he is a victim of govt education.

    Objection: There is no indication that he has any education.. govt or
    otherwise.

    Actually there is if you consider attending a school as having had an education. He suffered a skull fracture in the early 60s while
    attending one such California School.

    Overruled: his idiocy is direct evidence of being educated
    (indoctrinated) by the govt. No education would have been better than
    his parents (God bless them) abusing him by handing him over to the govt
    to be 'educated.'

    No, that's wrong - it was the Confederacy that chose to go to war.

    While secession never came up in Court cases prior to the war, there were

    Yes, Half Speed, you drunken drunken wallaby fucker, there does. But there isn't.

    Here's a detail a drunken wallaby fucker couldn't be expected to know. The Constitution technically is an amendment to the Articles of Confederation. The Articles state the United States is a *perpetual* union. The Constitution didn't
    include that wording, but it's implied.

    Rod, I can destroy Swill's entire argument in 2 words

    "Tenth" and "Amendment"

    "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or
    to the people."

    Thus by a STRICT reading of the Constitution, the power to secede from the United State is a power reserved to the States and/or the people. As there
    is nothing delegating such power to the United States nor is there any such prohibition against it.

    The people within a State chose to have their State secede. The State
    therefore chose to secede... a power they had under the 10th Amendment.

    Period.

    That is the end of any basis for Swill's argument and thus his entire
    argument fails.

    Unless he can show where that power is specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government?

    Can you show such is given, Swill? If not, your argument fails totally,
    utterly and without question.

    Swill's argument is now toast.

    You're welcome.

    I read somewhere that the only legal way for a State to secede would
    require the consent of every other State in the nation, I'm not a
    lawyer, so I don't know how valid that is - but obviously those
    Confederate States did not have the permission of the rest of the nation.

    We know you're an idiot, but really to say that about yourself.

    And despite what you claim about SCOTUS I can prove that secession is legal.

    I refer you to the 10th Amendment.

    Now, has such authority for secession been granted to the US government
    within the Constutiton?

    No?

    Then it is retained by the States and/or the People.

    QED.

    Thus secession is perfectly legal under the Constitution regardless of what SCOTUS says as they are no more than a portion of the federal government
    that was never granted such a power. Therefore they can not grant upon themselves such a power, even in the form of SCOTUS declaring it to be so.

    It would be like SCOTUS declaring the trials no longer need to be held as everyone charged is automatically guilty.

    Since revolution is the result of secession.. how can the result be legal
    with the cause isn't?

    Meanwhile I refer you to the 10th Amendment. Then you can point out where secession is a power specifically a power granted to the federal government

    Yep, does sort of pull the whole rug out from under his argument.

    Then there is the logical disconnect in there....
    If you want to secede that's illegal.
    But if you revolt to secede.. then suddenly that's legal.

    You are that idiot with your earlier stupid claim you

    There doesn't need to be for secession to be legal.
    Just like there is no provision in the constitution
    for landing a man on the moon, or putting people
    into space, but its perfectly legal to do that anyway.

    Rod, I can destroy Swill's entire argument in 2 words

    "Tenth" and "Amendment"

    No, scooter.

    Your denial doesn't


    "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
    nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
    respectively, or to the people."

    No, scooter. See Texas v. White, scooter.

    The Supreme Court has no power to change the terms of the Constitution. Otherwise the Federal government could change the Constitution at will
    simply by declaring it so.

    There is no state power of secession from a perpetual union, scooter,
    any more than your left arm could secede from your decrepit body (and
    still remain a functioning limb).


    I read somewhere

    That's so typical of most if not all of your "knowledge". You think you know something when in fact you don't.

    that the only legal way for a State to secede would
    require the consent of every other State in the nation,

    No, We are a Union of states with each state being an individual and equal partner. If they chose to no longer be part of any Union they are, were and should be free to leave. It is after all their right under the 10th
    Amendment. It's part of the Constitution. Maybe you've heard of it?

    Further given the Constitution was written by people who had to go to war to secede from the nation they were part of, I don't think they would turn
    around and repeat the same mistake they just had a long and bloody war to overcome.

    Nope, the 10th is quite clear in this matter. Secession is NOT a power
    granted to the federal government, and thus is reserved to the states or the people to decide if they will secede or not.

    In fact I can PROVE this is the case. West Virginia.

    Virginia seceded from the United States, West Virginia seceded from
    Virginia, and then joined the United States as a new state.

    The ONLY way that West Virginia could be brought into the Union as a new
    state was if Virginia was NO LONGER PART OF THE UNION.
    See Art IV Sec. 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America.

    So.. You have a problem... either Virginia could and did secede from the
    Union and was no longer a part of the United States... or the federal government VIOLATED the very text of the Constitution by the formation of a
    new state within the Jurisdiction of another State.

    Once again, Rudy proves he has absolutely no idea of what he's talking about.....

    You can believe any bullshit you want to. Bottom line is, what SCOTUS

    Wrong, as always.

    Hmmm. What Swill seems to be trying to assert is that the WHOLE nation is ACTUALLY controlled and ruled over by the 9 people in the Supreme Court that have the power to do anything they want.

    But then Swill has always been pretty ignorant.

    Yes. The American revolution was quite popular among most Americans at the time.

    Where were we going?

    To self rule and self determination rather than arbitrary rule by a King on
    the other side of the planet that knows very little about us.


    Seems to me that we
    wanted the British to go away and leave us alone.

    Much as the Southerners felt about the federal government?



    And conservaturds keep
    talking revolution,

    Actually the 'conservatives' would have been talking about remaining under British rule.

    I will just accept you don't understand the concepts behind the words you
    are using other than you think conservative means something bad.

    not to leave but to establish a dictatorship and make Dems/Liberals/immigrants/Blacks/etc leave.

    A dictatorship was never even a notion. There were talks that we should establish a King but luckily the more knowledgeable (which you have left you out) were aware of the problems Kings and royalty presented and so they examined history to find a system of government that was a reasonable compromise between being able to govern and yet controllable by the
    population being ruled.

    Of course, I will simply make note of the depth of the ignorance your
    comments here display and thus why your comments on other topics concerning government are similarly controlled by your ignorance rather than knowledge
    and understanding of the issues.

    Complete bullshit. Revolution and secession are not comparable.

    All Revolution is a result of secession.

    Wrong, scooter.

    On the Contrary, I'm right as usual.

    Revolution is never secession, scooter.

    Sure it is. What is the Purpose of revolution? To secede from the current government.

    It's self-administered regime change.

    Exactly.

    Definitions from Oxford Languages

    se·ces·sion
    /səˈseSH(ə)n/
    noun
    the action of withdrawing formally from membership of a federation or body, especially a political state.
    "the republics want secession from the union"

    So by definition that makes it a secession. Revolution is one means by which you can secede.


    You don't even know what the words mean, and yet you claim I'm the one who doesn't know what he's talking about?

    That's why it's incorrect to refer to the "Revolutionary war." We didn't replace the monarchy and government *in* Great Britain. George III still
    sat on the throne after 1781.

    Yes, but for a revolution to succeed has nothing to do with a total
    overthrow of the existing government.. only that it's no longer YOUR government.

    Definitions from Oxford Languages
    rev·o·lu·tion
    /ˌrevəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/
    noun
    1. a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system.
    "the country has had a socialist revolution"

    Did we overthrow the King's government here thus changing the social order
    for us?

    Yes, we did.

    You're stupid, scooter. It's because you work at being stupid.

    Where as your stupidity is a god given gift that you work hard to maintain.

    Sure it is.

    No, scooter, it is not.

    What is the Purpose [sic] of revolution? To secede from the current government.

    No, scooter. You cannot "secede" from a government. Secession is departure from a nation, scooter. Revolution is the *replacement* of a government while remaining a part of the nation. The French people did not "secede" from France, scooter. They replaced the monarchy.

    You're wrong, scooter.


    It's self-administered regime change.

    That's not secession, scooter.

    No dictionaries, scooter. Educated people like me don't require them. If you have to resort to them, scooter, you're admitting to being an uneducated fuckwit.

    No, scooter. That's your fabricated wrong definition.

    Yes, but

    No "but" and no dictionaries, scooter.


    Did we overthrow the King's government here

    No, we left Great Britain, scooter. A revolution would have been to replace the entire government of Great Britain with something new, *and* to have remained part of Great Britain.


    You're stupid, scooter. It's because you work at being stupid.

    Where as

    "whereas" is one word, scooter. Thanks for admitting to being stupid.

    Secession and revolution are not the same thing at all, scooter. I'm right and you're wrong and that's that.

    I'm right as usual.

    You're wrong as always, scooter.

    By wrong, you mean I'm almost always right..

    The infamous Rudy reversing the meaning of words to try to change meaning.


    Revolution is never secession, scooter.

    Sure it is.

    No, scooter, it is not.

    And yet, I proved otherwise.

    What is the Purpose [sic] of revolution? To secede from the current
    government.
    No, scooter. You cannot "secede" from a government.

    So much for political organizations then.. which is what a government is.

    ".. withdraw formally from membership of a federal union, an alliance, or a political or religious organization."


    Secession is departure from a nation, scooter.

    Not necessarily, but since you don't know what the word means you can hardly
    be expected to understand this.

    Revolution is the *replacement* of a government while remaining a part of
    the nation.

    Not necessarily. We overthrew the King's government here, making it a revolution. That we didn't overthrow the British government, doesn't change
    our actions, or what they were, in the least.

    After all.. according to YOU.. it wasn't a revolution.. or we would still be part of Britain.

    That's what is amusing about your stupidity Rudy... it's not even consistent internally.

    So.. Now that we've established that it was NOT a revolution according to
    you since we did NOT remain part of that nation... we must have seceded..

    The French people did not "secede" from France, scooter. They replaced the monarchy.

    Did we secede from the Americas? Did we replace the monarchy?

    So now that you've painted yourself in to a corner, what term are you going
    to claim applies?

    They decided it didn't apply because they decided there *is* no power to secede,

    trusted. He has no idea of what he's talking about.

    Fake lawyer "Rod Speed" is an idiot.


    ============
    Our rating: False

    The argument for secession is not nearly as clear-cut as this post
    asserts. The Supreme Court is the final authority on interpreting the Constitution, and an 1869 Supreme Court ruling held that secession is
    illegal. Historians and legal experts say the Civil War also established
    there is no “right” to secede.
    Legal, historical precedents block secession

    The question of whether Texas could secede has been largely academic for
    years, but the Texas State Republican Convention adopted a platform in
    June that called for a referendum “to determine whether or not the State
    of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.” State Rep.
    Bryan Slayton on March 6 introduced a bill to put the referendum on the November 2023 ballot.

    In his video and an email to USA TODAY, Miller focused on two parts of
    the U.S. Constitution he says show indirectly that Texas has an “right”
    to secede.

    He notes Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution lists acts that
    states cannot undertake, and secession is not on that list. He then notes
    that the 10th Amendment says the federal government only has powers
    spelled out in the Constitution or delegated by the states, which he says
    means the right to decide if a state would remain part of the U.S. is
    left up to each state.

    But the issue of secession was more directly addressed elsewhere and has
    been settled for more than 150 years, according to legal historians and constitutional experts. The experts USA TODAY spoke to all said they did
    not see a right to secede in the Constitution, but most found historical
    and legal precedents that say there is no such right.

    "Almost no lawyer would take that argument seriously," said Sanford
    Levinson, a government professor at the University of Texas School of
    Law. "I do believe it is viewed as a closed question."

    The nation's highest court addressed this question directly in an 1869
    case.

    The Supreme Court case Texas v. White centered on Texas selling U.S.
    treasury bonds it held to fund its participation in the Civil War. The
    court ruled 5-3 that the sale by the state’s Confederate government was
    illegal because Texas’ secession was itself illegal.

    “The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as
    perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States,”
    wrote Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase. “There was no place for
    reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through
    consent of the States.”

    James Wilets, a law professor at Shepard Broad College of Law at Nova Southeastern University, said the Constitution is silent on the issue of secession, but Texas v. White is clear there is no such right.

    "And the Supreme Court is, for better or for worse, the last word on how
    to interpret the Constitution," he said.

    In addition, late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who favored a
    strict form of reading the Constitution known as originalism, said
    there's no legal basis for secession. Responding to a letter from a screenwriter working on a comedy dealing with secession in 2006, Scalia
    wrote he could not imagine such a case ever reaching the Supreme Court.

    "I find it difficult to envision who the parties to this lawsuit might
    be," Scalia wrote. Is the State suing the United States for a declaratory judgment? But the United States cannot be sued without its consent, and
    it has not consented to this sort of suit."

    Just as true of the shit below.

    The Supreme Court is the final authorityon interpreting the  Constitution,

    And it says NOTHING about secession and in fact
    the Tenth clearly states that the feds get no say
    what so ever on whether a state can seceed [sic] or not.

    There is no such word as "seceed." The word is *secede*.

    The tenth amendment does not say that states have the power to secede. That's because there is no power under the Constitution to secede. You might think that
    that's a defect of the Constitution, but it's a fact whether or not you like it.

    and an 1869 Supreme Court ruling held that secession is  illegal.

    And had no basis for claiming that.

    Absolutely it did. The court looked at the history of the formation of the country, starting with the separation from Great Britain and through the Articles of Confederation era up to the adoption of the Constitution, and including the writings of the founders about the topic of secession, and concluded that there is no power or right for states to secede. Note that the court saying there is no power to secede is not what "made" secession unconstitutional; it always was. That's just the first time it was explicitly stated.

    Unilateral secession by one or more states is unconstitutional.

    There is no such word as "seceed." The word is *secede*.

    The tenth amendment does not say that states have the power to secede.
    That's because there is no power under the Constitution to secede. You
    might think that that's a defect of the Constitution, but it's a fact
    whether or not you like it.

    and an 1869 Supreme Court ruling held that secession is  illegal.

    And had no basis for claiming that.

    Absolutely it did. The court looked at the history of the formation of
    the country, starting with the separation from Great Britain and
    through the Articles of Confederation era up to the adoption of the Constitution, and including the writings of the founders about the
    topic of secession, and concluded that there is no power or right for
    states to secede. Note that the court saying there is no power to
    secede is not what "made" secession unconstitutional; it always was.
    That's just the first time it was explicitly stated.

    Unilateral secession by one or more states is unconstitutional.


    Hell, even Scalia said there is no Right to Secede.

    The Right to Secede is entirely imaginary and thus cannot be "Reserved to
    the States". Might as well be talking about the Right to Ride Unicorns
    on Tuesdays.

    Yes, that's exactly what he said. Here's how it went:

    You (dummy):
    You are that idiot with your earlier stupid claim you
    made twice where you stupidly proclaimed that there
    is no provision for secession in the constitution.

    There doesn't need to be for secession to be legal.
    Just like there is no provision in the constitution
    for landing a man on the moon, or putting people
    into space, but its perfectly legal to do that anyway.


    scooter (even more of a dummy):
    Rod, I can destroy Swill's entire argument in 2 words

    "Tenth" and "Amendment"

    "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
    Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
    reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

    Thus by a STRICT reading of the Constitution, the power
    to secede from the United State is a power reserved to
    the States and/or the people. As there is nothing
    delegating such power to the United States nor is there
    any such prohibition against it.


    You (dummy):
    Even better and no prohibition would be legally valid anyway.

    So your idiot pal scooter *did* say that the tenth amendment reserves to the states the power to secede, and you *did* fawningly agree with him. And you're both wrong: there is no such power.



    and you swooned in toady agreement with him.

    Keep this shit up and your shit will be flushed where it belongs.

    Coward.


    It does however spell out what the feds  get to regulateand given it says >>> nothing abount secession, that meansthat the states are free do secede or not

    No, it doesn't mean that at all.

    Yes it does.

    No, it does not.


    The amendment says that powers not  delegatedto the federal government are >> "reserved" to thestates or to  the people.

    And that includes secession because
    that is not delegated to the feds.

    No, it does not include secession, because that isn't a power at all.


    But there *is* no power to secede.

    Then america is still a Great Britain colony.

    No.


    That's because there is no power under the Constitution to secede.

    There is no power under the constitutionto put a man  on the moon either

    That's an absurd comparison.

    It isnt a comparison.

    It is.

    Putting a man on the moon is not a state power. It was done pursuant to a

    Mindless waffle.

    Revolution is not secession.

    You can't secede if you're not part of the nation/government. The

    A SCOTUS decision can be overruled by two means:
    1 - a later SCOTUS ruling
    2 - a Constitutional Amendment

    The SCOTUS ruled in 1869 that secession was illegal, and neither of those

    Doesnt have to be a war. There have been plenty
    of secessions which have not involved a war,
    most obviously most recently with Czechoslovakia
    and when Singapore chose to leave Malaysia.

    Revolution is not secession.

    Secession doesnt have to be by revolution.

    You can't secede if you're not part of the nation/government.

    Wrong, as always.

    The Colonies were not part of the British government

    Didnt need to be.

    - they had no representation. England chose warwhen the Colonies
    announced their independance.

    And Abe chose war when the southern states chose to secede.

    No news.


    Fucking Lost Cause twaddle. The South promoted the bullshit Right to
    Secede in hopes of getting other nations to recognize them as an
    independent nation - didn't work -- NOBODY recognized the Confederacy as
    an independant nation.

    It was entirely different when the US declared our independence - and
    even Great Britain recognized us as an independent nation.

    Wrong,

    No, *right*. There is not and never was any power under the Constitution to secede. The states, which *only* ever had extremely limited sovereignty, never had that power. Never. This is settled. When the Supreme Court said in 1869 in Texas v. White that secession was unconstitutional, they were not "writing" new law and they were not "changing" the Constitution. The power to secede was never
    there.

    The states were never sovereign nations — never. A sovereign nation can withdraw, or "secede," from a treaty, but the Constitution is not and never was seen as a treaty. When the states acceded to it (look up "accede" — I know you
    don't know the word) to the Constitution, they *permanently* gave up and forswore the power to secede.

    Secession is unconstitutional. This is settled, and you are wrong.

    France did, also some others also. Without English Warships blockading
    there would have been more French wt material at the Souths disposal.


    It was entirely different when the US declared our independence

    Baloney! England had plans to control America through financial
    enterprise and heavy political Ambassador teams.

    - and
    even Great Britain recognized us as an independent nation.

    Is that why, Lincoln mandated a draft that created massive violent demonstrations against being sent off to fight a war against the rights
    of secession by the Southern states Which by the way is still not Constitutional. At this point in History, Texas is doing the job that
    pour Federal Government was legally and morally bound to do. The top 2
    reasons for secession was (1) Northern Business Moguls wanted control of
    the Cotton and other rich Industries in the South. (2) to Neuter the
    upcoming enforcement of the Virginia Compromise- Ending Slavery-. If
    the South had just handed over the reins of business to the North,
    Lincoln who was a Jackal with the heavy financial support of Northern
    Business would not have issued the "Emancipation Proclamation". Northern Business would have happily continued with cheap and profitable slavery.
    slavery. Lincoln was a wealthy man by doing the bidding of the Rich.
    My forbears fought for the North as they were professional Military and
    had no choice. I suggest that the pack of Morons(you-uns) educate
    yourselves before showing your ignorance here. By the way, no Southern
    state voted for Lincoln. Thus he was not a representative of the
    Southern establishment. Texas entere3d the Union with very explicit
    rules of Secession should the rest of the country offend them. And yes,
    it is legal. Even President Lyndon Baines Johnson attested to this on
    several occasions. The old crook did have some good in him.

    Is that why we are called *United States of America** or in other words
    the States United of America*. *Or American States United*.

    When the articles of confederation were drafted the right to not join
    and the right to quit were foremost in all the 13 states minds. Arizona
    also has some special privileges written in. One question that was never answered was brought forth by Lawyers and citizens of that period'

    A Confederation of states cannot be voted by Representative Governments

    A vote for such an important enterprise must be voted by the people/.

    That was over run by the Rich and influential. In a real court today our confederation would be non-existent.

    As for the SCOTUS, Andrew Jackson told them to go suck an egg. Big
    money still stuck us with the disastrous Federal Reserve system, that is
    not even control by Americans and has the same disastrous effect that
    the Jewish banking industry had of 1923 to 1933 Germany. Please note
    that tiny Switzerland does not tolerate that kind of Balderdash and
    seems to fair quite well financially.

    Congress and the Senate can overrule SCOTUS any time it pleases.

    So SCOTUS does not get to proclaimthat secession is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

    Why?

    Because that is the ONLY power SCOTUS actually has
    apart from a few other irrelevant things, it ONLY gets
    to interpret the constitution, you pig ignorant clown.

    It does NOT get any say on what a US state can
    do when that isnt specified in the constitution.

    It can ONLY do that with stuff that is specified in the constitution
    and secession isnt even mentioned in the constitution.

    Did you read the SCOTUS ruling?

    Your favorite reference:
    ==============
    Writing for the court, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase commented that the
    federal Constitution “in all its provisions looks to an indestructible
    Union, composed of indestructible States.” Thus, the Supreme Court
    decreed by law what the Union’s Civil War victory had effected by force, namely, the principle that no state may secede from the Union.

    This is a must read in its entirety for those that need to understand
    how America came to being. Especially after May of 1707. Also to
    understand that England was not part of Great Britain at that time. No
    Scottish Kings were involved at all. Also King George was Anti-Catholic
    due to being of the Masonic Order. The tennates of the Masonic Order
    were delineated by the Magna Carta, Antislavery and a
    Democratic-somewhat Republican personal freedoms. Washington DC seems to
    be the very proof of that today.

    When the Constitution was written putting a man on the moonwould have

    Even sillier than you usually manage given that
    the american colonys had seceded from Britain.

    The Colonies had power, the South did not.

    The massive number of dead on both sides disputes that statement.
    States and individual rights lost and the Northern Industrial Oligarchy
    won. Perhaps for the best, Perhaps not. But the History of how the South
    was treated after the war, with carpet baggers and Federal Government corruption speaks volumes.Just the seizure alone, of Confederate General
    Robert E Lee's Home farm and turning it into *Arlington National
    Cemetery* speaks volumes to how shoddily the South was treated and it
    still shows to this day. How many WWI and WWII military personal had
    their homes stolen for the benefit of the spoils and rapes of the
    conquerors. Most line soldiers of the North were sickened by the
    despotism shown by the Northern elites. If the Hague Court had been
    in existence the whole administration would have been found guilty.
    But on the upside in later years spurred the creation of the Geneva Conventions. Which in many cases has been ignored by some of our present administrations. The UN has also sunk into the swamp.Now huge money pit governed by political elitist. Certainly not by the Uncorrupt. SCOTUS
    has merged into an organization that waves in whatever direction the
    Political powers demand. The Golden Rule. He who has the Gold rules and
    He who has the most Ammunition/Pol-power owns the Gold

    Doesnt take any of that to notice that the constitution has

    There is no right or power to secede.

    Is that why we are called *United States of America** or in other

    It's a nation. There is no power to secede from it. The states are not sovereign.

    Where does it say "empire"? And did they say it was "empire" at the time?

    It can ONLY do that with stuff that is specified in the constitution

    When the Constitution was written putting a man on the moonwould
    have
    been entirely imaginary - just like secession.

    Even sillier than you usually manage given that
    the american colonys had seceded from Britain.

    The Colonies had power, the South did not.

    The massive number of dead on both sides disputes that statement.

    No. What you guys are missing in trying to apply the 10th is that every colony/State had their own constitution that detailed their Rights. So
    the 10th is refering to those documents and not some imaginary "right"
    made up long after.

    there is two factors - those people allowed to vote DID in fact vote

    ============
    Our rating: False

    The argument for secession is not nearly as clear-cut as this post
    asserts. The Supreme Court is the final authority on interpreting the Constitution,

    Wrong. The people are and always will be the final authority.

    and an 1869 Supreme Court ruling held that secession is
    illegal.

    And thus would claim that it was wrong of the founding father to secede for Britain and that we should be once again part of the British Commonwealth.
    Not.

    Sorry, but secession is very much legal under the Constitution. Ref 10th Amendment and DOI.

    Historians and legal experts say the Civil War also established
    there is no "right" to secede.

    And yet they did secede. West Virginia being an established fact that a secession DID occur and was recognized by the US has having occurred.

    Legal, historical precedents block secession

    No it doesn't.

    The question of whether Texas could secede has been largely academic for years, but the Texas State Republican Convention adopted a platform in
    June that called for a referendum "to determine whether or not the State
    of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation." State Rep. Bryan Slayton on March 6 introduced a bill to put the referendum on the November 2023 ballot.

    Yep, because Texas when they joined also included a conditional clause they could remove themselves at any time from the United States irrespective of
    the 10th Amendment.

    In his video and an email to USA TODAY, Miller focused on two parts of
    the U.S. Constitution he says show indirectly that Texas has an "right"
    to secede.

    They do.

    He notes Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution lists acts that states cannot undertake, and secession is not on that list.

    Ref 10th Amendment

    He then notes
    that the 10th Amendment says the federal government only has powers
    spelled out in the Constitution or delegated by the states, which he says means the right to decide if a state would remain part of the U.S. is
    left up to each state.

    And he is utterly right.

    But the issue of secession was more directly addressed elsewhere

    Where? It's not in the Constitution and if it's not there then there is no basis to suggest that secession isn't allowed.

    and has
    been settled for more than 150 years

    Clearly it hasn't, or they wouldn't be talking about seceding. QED.

    according to legal historians and
    constitutional experts. The experts USA TODAY spoke to all said they did
    not see a right to secede in the Constitution,

    Sure, because it's not SPECIFICALLY spelled out... but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist under the 10th.

    but most found historical
    and legal precedents that say there is no such right.

    West Virginia.

    Go ahead explain to me how the formation of West Virginia was Constitutional
    if Virginia was part of the United States.

    Poor Baxter always depending on others do tell him what to think.

    Just as true of the shit below.

    The Supreme Court is the final authority
    on interpreting the Constitution,

    And it says NOTHING about secession and in fact
    the Tenth clearly states that the feds get no say
    what so ever on whether a state can seceed or not.

    The tenth amendment does not saythat states have the power to secede.

    No one ever said it did.

    Your pal scooter (drunken Virginia camper) did,

    He never ever said that the Tenth said that.

    I certainly didn't, but then Baxter seems to often see crap that isn't
    there.



    and you swooned in toady agreement with him.

    Keep this shit up and your shit will be flushed where it belongs.

    Which is probably what he's hoping for at this point, because he realizes,
    to late, that the facts don't support him. He can only hope to be irritating enough that we quit and he can claim victory by his refusal to accept the truth.

    It does however spell out what the feds get to regulateand given it
    says nothing abount secession, that meansthat the states are free do
    secede or not as they choose.

    No, it doesn't mean that at all.

    Yes it does.

    A fact I can prove has occurred.

    West Virginia. If Baxter were right.. the formation of West Virginia would
    have been utterly Unconstitutional.

    The ONLY way it could have occurred was Virginia was NOT part of the United States at that time.

    Further we had an exchange of AMBASSADORS between the US and the
    Confederacy..

    Both of which establish that BOTH sides acted in a manner establishing that
    a secession had occurred.

    Now for the FINAL nails in Baxter's coffin.

    in 1865 the ex-confederate states seek readmission to the United States,
    except for Texas.

    In December of 1865 Congress refuses to seat the Congressional
    representatives from the former Confederate states arguing that they
    forfeited their statehood with secession and until formally readmitted were merely US territories.

    In 1868 Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Caroline were READMITTED TO THE UNITED STATES.

    So by LEGAL action they were clearly NOT part of the United States.Clearly those States DID secede a fact acknowledged by BOTH sides.


    The amendment says that powers not delegatedto the federal government
    are "reserved" to thestates or to the people.

    And that includes secession because
    that is not delegated to the feds.

    Which point is much to complex for Baxter to understand.

    But there *is* no power to secede.

    Then america is still a Great Britain colony.

    LOL

    That's because there is no power under the Constitution to secede.

    There is no power under the constitutionto put a man on the moon either

    That's an absurd comparison.

    It isnt a comparison. Its a fact that just because something
    isnt mentioned in the constitution does NOT mean that
    there is no power for a state or the people to do that.

    Putting a man on the moon is not a state power. It was done pursuant to
    a state power.

    Mindless waffle.

    and an 1869 Supreme Court ruling held that secession is illegal.

    And had no basis for claiming that.

    Absolutely it did.

    Bullshit it did

    Absolutely it did.

    Bullshit it did


    "Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Chase makes clear that his primary concern is not the constitutionality of secession per se, but political necessity: He wrote that ". . . the ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null. . . If this were otherwise, the State must have become foreign, and her citizens foreigners. The war must have ceased to be a war
    for the suppression of rebellion, and must have become a war for conquest
    and subjugation" "

    https://constitutingamerica.org/9994-2/

    Further if as the court declared then why was it necessary for the
    Confederate states to apply for readmission to the United States.

    Clearly despite the 'opinion' of the court, Texas was officially readmitted
    to the union on March 30th, 1870 again establishing that despite the ruling
    of the court.. both sides clearly accepted that secession had occurred as it had with all the Confederate States.

    So.. on one hand we have a clear historical policy that secession is legal, that such a power is protected by the 10th, and that it can and has occurred MULTIPLE times in our history.

    On Baxter's side he has one Supreme Court ruling pushing no the constitutionality of such an action, but another agenda

    And yes, Baxter the Supreme Court is not all powerful and certainly is not infallible.

    I think it's quite clear from a Historical perspective and a legal
    perspective (other than this one opinion) that secession is legal, was acknowledge by all parties as such, and readmission was necessary for the states to rejoin the Union.

    That's just the first time it was explicitly stated.

    Unilateral secession by one or more states is unconstitutional.

    Hell, even Scalia said there is no Right to Secede.

    And his personal comments mean NOTHING.

    Actually the states and the people have the final word in all matters.

    The Right to Secede is entirely imaginary and thus cannot be "Reserved to

    In what Supreme Court ruling did he say this?

    On the other hand we have historical fact that is it NOT imaginary..
    otherwise we would still be part of Britain.

    No one ever said it did.

    Your pal scooter (drunken Virginia camper) did,

    That is the lie.

    No, it isn't.

    Yes it is.

    He never ever said that the Tenth said that.

    Yes, that's exactly what he said. Here's how it went:

    You are lying.

    I'm not. I copied those from your posts.
    Which said nothing like what you claim they said.

    It did. Here it is again:

    You (dummy):
    You are that idiot with your earlier stupid claim you
    made twice where you stupidly proclaimed that there
    is no provision for secession in the constitution.

    There doesn't need to be for secession to be legal.
    Just like there is no provision in the constitution
    for landing a man on the moon, or putting people
    into space, but its perfectly legal to do that anyway.


    scooter (even more of a dummy):
    Rod, I can destroy Swill's entire argument in 2 words

    "Tenth" and "Amendment"

    "The powers not delegated to the United States by the
    Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
    reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

    Thus by a STRICT reading of the Constitution, the power
    to secede from the United State is a power reserved to
    the States and/or the people. As there is nothing
    delegating such power to the United States nor is there
    any such prohibition against it.


    You (dummy):
    Even better and no prohibition would be legally valid anyway.

    So your idiot pal scooter *did* say that the tenth amendment reserves to
    the states the power to secede, and you *did* fawningly agree with him.
    And you're both wrong: there is no such power.

    Why? Because you say so?

    But, if as you claim such an act isn't protected by the 10th, then that must mean it's a power specifically granted to the federal government.

    So where is such clause in the Constitution?

    Where exactly does it say that the federal government decides such a matter?

    I will note by historical action due to the readmission requirements by the United States that virtually EVERYONE involved recognized such a power under the 10th DID exist.. and then there is your ignorant opinion.

    It does however spell out what the feds get to regulateand given it

    No, it doesn't mean that at all.

    Yes it does.

    The amendment says that powers not delegatedto the federal
    government are "reserved" to thestates or to the people.

    And that includes secession because
    that is not delegated to the feds.

    But there *is* no power to secede.

    Then america is still a Great Britain colony.

    there IS the power of Revolution. It's called the Revolutionary War -
    not British Civil War, or War of Secession - REVOLUTIONARY War.
    Revolution is not secession.

    Sure it is.

    se·ces·sion
    /s?'seSH(?)n/
    noun
    the action of withdrawing formally from membership of a federation or body, especially a political state.

    War is about as formal as it gets....

    Doesnt have to be a revolution, the states are

    So?

    It's called the Revolutionary War - not BritishCivil War, or War of
    Secession - REVOLUTIONARY War.

    Doesnt have to be a war. There have been plenty
    of secessioins which have not involved a war,
    most obviously most recently with Czechoslovakia
    and when Singapore chose to leave Malaysia.

    Revolution is not secession.

    Secession doesnt have to be by revolution.

    You can't secede if you're not part of the nation/government.

    Well, that means we could revolt as we were part of a nation. Specifically
    the British Empire.

    Colonies were not part of the British government

    So? We were part of their Empire.

    - they had no
    representation. England chose war when the Colonies announced their independance.

    Yep, kind of like what happened with the Civil war then, isn't it?

    The full SCOTUS did rule on the issue in the late 1800's and said there
    is no Right to Secede.

    They have neither the power nor the authority to do so.

    I will note that other than SCOTUS every other part of government apparently had no issues with that.. they exchanged ambassadors . They negotiated as treaties as nations. After the civil war the confederate states had to be readmitted to the United States.. something that would have been utterly unnecessary if they didn't secede.

    Further I will note that the SCOTUS decision really had nothing to do with
    the law... but rather retribution. It's a very poor case and stands alone in the position you assert.



    and SCOTUS is final word on these matters.

    Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
    have never had a fucking clue about constitutional law
    or anything else at all either.

    SCOTUS certainly gets to interpret the constitution,
    but the problem is that the constitution doesnt even
    mention secession, so SCOTUS does not not get to
    rule on secession.

    So you'r trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth.

    No, he makes perfect sense. SCOTUS can only deal with matters within it's
    legal scope. Secession is NOT within that scope, and the power to secede is reserved to the states and/or the people and as such SCOTUS has very little
    to say about it, much less claiming it's somehow illegal even though they
    can't and didn't point to any law that was actually violated. It was simply little more than arbitrary opinion by the judges.


    And SCOTUS is not the final word on anything,
    they are free to change their mind when SCOTUS
    has been stacked with other supremes, as
    happened with Roe v Wade.

    Gawd you're an idiot.

    You need to tell yourself that often.

    A SCOTUS decision can be overruled by two means:
    1 - a later SCOTUS ruling
    2 - a Constitutional Amendment

    Or we can simply ignore it.

    All I can say is just because SCOTUS says it.. doesn't make it law.



    The SCOTUS ruled in 1869 that secession was illegal, and neither of those have occured - so that decision stands and is the Last Word.

    So SCOTUS was wrong. Oh, that's right, according to you SCOTUS is infallible and utterly perfect.

    But ok.. show us within the Constitution where the federal government (which included SCOTUS) was granted any power to deny, regulate or legislation
    matters on secession.

    Because I'm not aware of any power granted to SCOTUS to change the
    Constitution or to impose anything that doesn't exist within the
    Constitution.

    Meanwhile if secession was illegal.. then why did every Confederate state
    have to be READMITTED to the union?

    If you couldn't leave then you would hardly need to rejoin, and yet every single Confederate state was required to do so.

    Seems SCOTUS is howling in the wilderness, cold and alone, in this opinion. Much like yourself I might add.

    I disagree. The Colonies has just seceded from the British Empire.. and had

    do when that isnt specified in the constitution.

    It can ONLY do that with stuff that is specified in the constitution
    and secession isnt even mentioned in the constitution.

    Did you read the SCOTUS ruling?

    Your favorite reference:
    ==============
    Writing for the court, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase commented that the federal Constitution "in all its provisions looks to an indestructible
    Union, composed of indestructible States."

    Which was clearly false given the Union DID split and BOTH sides
    acknowledged that.

    Indeed, if it weren't split why did Congress refuse to sit representatives
    from those states until AFTER they were readmitted to the Union?

    When the Constitution was written putting a man on the moonwould
    have
    been entirely imaginary - just like secession.

    Even sillier than you usually manage given that
    the american colonys had seceded from Britain.

    The Colonies had power, the South did not.

    The massive number of dead on both sides disputes that statement.

    No. What you guys are missing in trying to apply the 10th is that every colony/State had their own constitution that detailed their Rights.

    Cite.

    So
    the 10th is refering to those documents and not some imaginary "right"
    made up long after.

    So where in the laws of the colonies would we find their imaginary "right"
    to deny their King, assert independence and secede from the British Empire?

    Please be sure to include link(s) as needed because unless you do so, then
    by your own standard you're lying and don't know what you're talking about.

    Again - you have to be a member in order to secede - the Colonies were not members of Great Britain - they had no representation in Parliment.

    They were part of Great Britain. The LACK of such representation was among
    the reasons for their desire to secede..

    "Taxation without Representation"?

    I seem to recall something about that.

    Question: If you aren't part of the nation.. why would you have to pay taxes
    to it?

    Likewise, if the Confederate states were and remained part of the United
    States why did Congress refuse to seat duly elected representatives from
    those states until AFTER they had been re-admitted to the United States?

    How can you readmit something that couldn't leave?

    Rudy, as usual your arguments are irrational and can't stand up to even momentary consideration.

    Please show where every state Constitution details exactly their rights.. because I can't seem to find it.

    Article I. Bill of Rights
    Section 17. Construction of the Bill of Rights
    The rights enumerated in this Bill of Rights shall not be construed to limit other rights of the people not therein expressed.
    Virginia

    Seems not all rights are enumerated. Just as they aren't in the 10th
    Amendment of the Constitution.


    Meanwhile we have this from the state of New Hampshire that specifically
    allows for rebellion, indeed advocates for rebellion if needed.

    [Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

    The full SCOTUS did rule on the issue in the late 1800's and said there
    is no Right to Secede.


    and SCOTUS is final word on  these matters.

    Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
    have never had a fucking clue about constitutional law
    or anything else at all either.

    SCOTUS certainly gets to interpret the constitution,
    but the problem is that the constitution doesnt even
    mention secession, so SCOTUS does not not get to
    rule on secession.

    So you'r trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth.


    And SCOTUS is not the final word on anything,
    they are free to change their mind when SCOTUS
    has been stacked with other supremes, as
    happened with Roe v Wade.

    Gawd you're an idiot.


    A SCOTUS decision can be overruled by two means:
    1 - a later SCOTUS ruling
    2 - a Constitutional Amendment

    Or we can simply ignore it.

    No, scooter.

    All I can say is just because SCOTUS says it.. doesn't make it law.

    The court says what the Constitution means, scooter.





    The SCOTUS ruled in 1869 that secession was illegal, and neither of those
    have occured - so that decision stands and is the Last Word.

    So SCOTUS was wrong.

    No, scooter.

    Oh, that's right, according to you SCOTUS is infallible and
    utterly perfect.

    Straw man, scooter.


    But ok.. show us within the Constitution where the federal government (which included SCOTUS) was granted any power to deny, regulate or legislation matters
    on secession.

    Read Texas v. White, scooter. Secession is unconstitutional.



    Because I'm not aware of any power granted to SCOTUS to change the Constitution

    Red herring, scooter. The court was not changing the Constitution, scooter. It was describing how the Articles of Confederation, which created an indissoluble "perpetual union," were made "more perfect," as stated in the Preamble to the Constitution, by the adoption of the latter.

    It's a perpetual union by definition, scooter. There is no power under it for a state to secede. The states are not sovereign nations, scooter. It's settled.

    But no supreme gets to rule alone on anything.

    The full SCOTUS did rule on the issue in the late 1800's and said there
    is no Right to Secede.

    They have neither the power nor the authority to do so.

    They have both, scooter.

    I will note that other than SCOTUS every other part of government apparently had
    no issues with that.. they exchanged ambassadors .

    They did nothing of the kind, scooter. The United States did not diplomatically recognize the so-called "CSA" and thus did not exchange ambassadors with them, and in fact worked successfully to ensure that *no* other nation recognized the "CSA".

    From where do you get your bullshit, scooter?

    What an ignorant statement by a fool. Secession is not mentioned. In

    so.Texas is currently toying with the implied threat of doing such. With
    damned good reason and on paper contract that makes their action
    unquestionably legal, correct and Honorable. But horsewhipping the
    corrupt political fools that are our supposedly leadership...and then

    No, it isn't. The Articles defined a perpetual union, and the preamble of the Constitution expressly states the intent to make a *more perfect union*. This is
    exactly the point Chase made in Texas v. White.

    Secession is not allowed. This is settled.

    Sure.. and since the AoC no longer applies nether does any implication of "perpetual union".

    Seems they realized that such would violate the rights of people to change their minds, just as they changed their minds about being subjects of
    Britain

    I mean it would be rather hypocritical to assert that no one else could do
    what they had just done because they were being oppressed.

    In any case, the Constitution makes it quite clear that secession IS legal,
    and everyone (other than one ruling by SCOTUS) on both sides of the civil
    war acknowledged that it did occur..

    Indeed the very fact that they exchanged ambassadors would be evidence that they were deemed an independent country. Second.. the fact that the United States REQUIRED the former Confederate states to apply for admission to the United States... you don't need to apply for admission if you're still part
    of something.

    No, history shows quite clearly that the separation did occur and was acknowledged to have occurred by BOTH sides, and proven as such by regular
    and consistent deeds that showed they were NOT still part of the same
    nation.

    Yep, if it was perpetual.... that perpetuity ended when the Articles were eliminated.

    No, scooter. The perpetual union was made "more perfect" by the Constitution. It's right in the preamble, scooter.

    No, it isn't.

    Corse it is.

    The Articles defined a perpetual union,

    That doesn't legally bind the union to anything forever.

    and the preamble of the Constitution expresslystates the intent to ma

    a *more perfect union*.

    And made no mention of secession or perpetuity.

    This is exactly the point Chase made in Texas v. White.

    And that was just more mindless bullshit.

    Secession is not allowed.

    Wrong, as always and it did happen

    This is settled.

    Wrong, as always.

    Slavery is and was wrong. And any yapping about States Rights/Powers is
    just an attempt to put lipstick on that slavery pig.

    Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you hsve

    They are NOT and never have been a complete
    list of what a state or nation can legally do.

    That should be obvious from the fact that there is no mention
    of putting a man on the moon or into space. It is perfectly
    legal to do that ANYWAY. Same with secessiom.

    Here is a good explanation of states rights and The Constitution.

    <https://constitution.laws.com/states-rights>

    This is a *bullshit* pro-slavery/pro-traitors/pro-Jim Crow/pro-racism page. Here's why:

    At the heart of the conflict was the issue of slavery. The southern states
    believed that they had the right to govern themselves and to decide whether
    or not to allow slavery within their borders. The federal government, led by
    President Abraham Lincoln, believed that the Union had the power to override
    state laws and regulations in order to abolish slavery and preserve the country.

    No, Lincoln did *not* believe that the federal government could abolish slavery.
    Lincoln was sympathetic to the abolition movement, and ultimately wanted to abolish slavery, but he was under no illusion that the federal government could simply abolish it by legislation or executive order.

    Here's another reason we know the page is bullshit: the *only* "states' right" mentioned in it during the 19th century is the "right" (power) to preserve slavery. That's the only "states' right" *ever* mentioned. This is how we know the civil war was about slavery, and *only* about slavery. No other "states' right" was at issue.

    So the South was correct to defend their Slavery? And were the Nazis

    And just like that Baxter wants to change the subject.

    Are you suggesting it was fair for the North to bleed the south dry by self serving taxes and conditions that all but prohibited Southern agriculture
    for getting a fair price on the open world market?

    That's what the whole thing was really about. Money.

    The North was using the South as minimally paid share croppers providing
    them with agricultural products well below free market prices even allowing
    for shipping costs and in exchange the south took those under priced agricultural products and used then in their value adding plants and got
    paid not only for the value added.. but the extra value of the raw materials that they denied the Southern growers.

    Of course, you know nothing about that, because you know virtually nothing about anything.

    It does and it did. Secession is unconstitutional, meaning the
    federal government may take steps to prevent it.

    What an ignorant statement by a fool.

    Irrelevant.

    Secession is not mentioned.

    Precisely.



    The Constitution is a revision of the Articles of Confederation, While >>>> the AoC doesn't use the word "secede" in any variation, it does say
    "the
    Union was solemnly declared to 'be perpetual'" - which precludes
    secession.
    Sure.. and since the AoC no longer applies nether does any implication
    of "perpetual union".

    The perpetual union established in the AoC was made "more perfect" by
    the Constitution. Chase expressly noted that in Texas v. White.

    It was made more perfect by the elimination of
    the word perpetual, because no agreement can
    ever be binding forever and be unchangeable.

    Yep, I think it would be classified as a "term of arm" not a legally binding condition.

    Further I will note that despite the Court's assertion.. the rest of the government did not see it that way as it was not until 1870 that Texas was formally readmitted unto the Union.

    Interesting given SCOTUS in 1868 declared that not only was Texas a state of the Union but that it had never left the Union.

    Apparently SCOTUS was alone in this view with both the Executive and Legislative Branches in disagreement with this unilateral judgment by the Court.

    A judgment that flies in the very face of the facts, the Constitution and
    even our history.

    Per the principles of the ruling issued by the Court.. we would STILL be a dominion of Britain and subject to British rule as we had no right to
    dissolve our connection to Britain regardless of how we felt about it.

    Yea, this ruling was pull out of SCOTUS' ass and has no rational basis other than Money.. interesting how often that causes poor rulings.



    There is no power to secede reserved to the states.

    But the states are legally free to secede and did so
    and even the North recognised that when they kicked
    their elected representatives out of Congress and
    both sides appointed ambassadors to each other.

    Yep. What's what is know as "Fait accompli" which quite literally means "an accomplished fact."

    Then only think that Rudy has to hang his hat on is a poor ruling by SCOTUS which is acknowledged to be more about arm twisting than about the legal
    facts.

    Basically, Texas wanted conditions to rejoin and the US didn't want to allow them to remain outside of the US. given just how much territory they represented, and still do today.

    Na, it;'s much more broad than simply saying it applies to anything detailed
    in the State Constitutions.. it also applies to anything NOT detailed in the State Constitution, just as it applies to anything not detailed in the US Constitution.

    Remember.. the people are the source of ALL government powers... we always

    Irrelevant.

    Secession is not mentioned.

    Precisely.



    The Constitution is a revision of the Articles of Confederation, Wh
    ile
    the AoC doesn't use the word "secede" in any variation, it does say

    "the
    Union was solemnly declared to 'be perpetual'" - which precludes

    secession.

    It was replaced so what it says is legally irrelevant.

    No, it isn't.

    Corse it is.

    The Articles defined a perpetual union,

    That doesn't legally bind the union to anything forever.

    and the preamble of the Constitution expresslystates the intent to ma
    ke
    a *more perfect union*.

    And made no mention of secession or perpetuity.

    This is exactly the point Chase made in Texas v. White.

    And that was just more mindless bullshit.

    Secession is not allowed.

    Wrong, as always and it did happen

    This is settled.

    Wrong, as always.

    Slavery is and was wrong. And any yapping about States Rights/Powers is
    just an attempt to put lipstick on that slavery pig.

    Baxter attempts change the argument and claim everything does was valid
    because in the end it ended slavery.

    I will simply note if that were the case.. why did slavery in the north last longer than slavery in the south?

    Answer: The civil war didn't have anything to do with slavery.. when it started.

    The perpetual union established in the AoC was made "more perfect" by the >>> Constitution. Chase expressly noted that in Texas v. White.

    It was made more perfect by the elimination of

    Yep, I think it would be classified as a "term of arm" not a legally binding condition.

    That's called a term of *art*, you stupid fuck, not "arm." For fuck's sake, scooter, the 'm' and 't' keys are nowhere close to one another on any keyboard, so you can't even claim it was a typo. What it is is another example of your stupidity.

    Here is a good explanation of states rights and The Constitution.

    <https://constitution.laws.com/states-rights>

    Any claim that the Civil War was about States Rights is Lost Cause
    propaganda. States Rights don't exist as a separate thing - they only
    exist in conjunction with specific rights. Just like "felony" is not
    separate from the specific crime(s)

    It does and it did. Secession is unconstitutional, meaning the >>>>>>>>> federal government may take steps to prevent it.

    What an ignorant statement by a fool.

    Irrelevant.

    Secession is not mentioned.

    Precisely.



    The Constitution is a revision of the Articles of Confederation,
    Wh
    ile
    the AoC doesn't use the word "secede" in any variation, it does
    sa
    y

    "the
    Union was solemnly declared to 'be perpetual'" - which precludes
    secession.
    Sure.. and since the AoC no longer applies nether does any
    implicati
    on
    of "perpetual union".

    The perpetual union established in the AoC was made "more perfect"
    b
    y

    the Constitution. Chase expressly noted that in Texas v. White.

    It was made more perfect by the elimination of
    the word perpetual, because no agreement can
    ever be binding forever and be unchangeable.

    There is no power to secede reserved to the states.

    But the states are legally free to secede and did so
    and even the North recognised that when they kicked
    their elected representatives out of Congress and
    both sides appointed ambassadors to each other.

    The CSA lost

    Irrelevant to whether it is legal to secede, fool

    If you try and get caught/punished then it's not legal. Idiot

    No court was ever involved in deciding that the

    Have fun
    explaining why both sides appointed ambassadors,

    You've been told before - they didn't. That's a Lost Cause myth. The
    North never recognized the South as an independant nation

    the south had to apply to rejoin the union,

    Terms of surrender - to make sure. Part of the punishment

    and no

    Jeff Davis was imprisoned.

    The South was occupied by the North for some time.

    Freedom of movement/travel.

    Further it is political power.

    They are NOT and never have been a complete

    That should be obvious from the fact that there is no mention
    of putting a man on the moon or into space. It is perfectly

    Putting a man on the moon is not a Right, nor is it a political
    Power.


    Constitutions arent just about rights and political power, you
    ignorant fool.


    yes they are, you ignoramus.

    Please list where you have the right within the Constitution to take a
    shit.. until you can produce it.. then you can't take a shit.
    Further if you care caught and punished for doing so.. then by your own assertion you had no right to do so.
    So how long until Baxter violates his own position?

    It does and it did. Secession is unconstitutional, meaning the >>>>>>>>>> federal government may take steps to prevent it.

    What an ignorant statement by a fool.

    Irrelevant.

    Secession is not mentioned.

    Precisely.



    The Constitution is a revision of the Articles of Confederation,
    Wh
    ile
    the AoC doesn't use the word "secede" in any variation, it does
    sa
    y

    "the
    Union was solemnly declared to 'be perpetual'" - which precludes

    secession.

    It was replaced so what it says is legally irrelevant.

    No, it isn't.

    Corse it is.

    The Articles defined a perpetual union,

    That doesn't legally bind the union to anything forever.

    and the preamble of the Constitution expresslystates the intent to
    ma
    ke
    a *more perfect union*.

    And made no mention of secession or perpetuity.

    This is exactly the point Chase made in Texas v. White.

    And that was just more mindless bullshit.

    Secession is not allowed.

    Wrong, as always and it did happen

    This is settled.

    Wrong, as always.

    Slavery is and was wrong.

    Irrelevant to whether secession is legal.


    Nope. Absolutely relavent as to why the Southern States tried and failed
    to secede.

    Thus showing Baxter has no real idea of why the Southern States seceded.

    States Rights don't exist as a separate thing

    Ok, so they aren't separate.. how does that alter anything.

    - they only

    Yep, all other rights and powers being reserved to the people. If the state government doesn't have the power to secede the people of the state can
    decide their state will secede..

    I don't see how that's really an issue that saves your argument.

    Just like "felony" is not

    Sure it is. I can speak of felonies being committed without having to

    You have to show it to be true, and you can't. The Constitution makes no mention
    of state constitutions. The tenth amendment starts with "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution..." That is a reference to what are commonly understood to be implicit powers of government — for example,
    the power to organize state and local police, conduct elections, regulate public
    schools (if there are any), etc. Those powers need not be addressed in state constitutions; the states might just pass legislation to do those things.

    You don't know what you're bullshitting about. It's hilarious watching you try to "debate" Half Speed and scooter, because they don't know what they're bullshitting about, either. Between you and either of them, it's like watching two jerk-offs with no arms trying to box.

    You can attempt to secede but depending on the mercy of the

    No, scooter. You tried that already. There is no power to secede
    to be reserved to the states. The power doesn't exist.


    And the powers that the 10th was referring to were the powers
    detailed in the various State constitutions.

    That is completely wrong.

    Go ahead and show otherwise.

    You have to show it to be true,

    Already shown to be true by that SCOTUS decision

    No, the Supreme Court decision did *not* show that the powers referred to in the
    tenth amendment are those powers found in state constitutions. You made that shit up, Bugster, you fucking liar.

    You have to show it to be true,

    Already shown to be true by that SCOTUS decision

    And overturned by direct actions by both the Executive and Legislative Branches.

    Nevermind, that even AFTER SCOTUS' decision Texas was STILL made to apply
    for re-admission.
    Indeed it wasn't until over a year later that Texas would once again become
    a state in the US.

    Seems like you and SCOTUS stand alone in this perversion of the law.
