No, I mean really, no.
Did Union troops ever occupy Texas? No. They tried, and tried, and tried, and Texas whooped Union butt every single time.

Please point to the provision in the Constitution that allows for secession.
SCOTUS said Texas never seceded in the first place
Cite, please. Not arguing the point - just curious as to the SCOTUS decision.
Supreme Court case Texas v White
The Supreme Court stated that a state cannot legally unilaterally secede and declared that all ordinances for secession passed by all confederate states were null from the beginning.
info...all of the southern states held state conventions to chose whether to secede, except TENN, which held a referendum of the people by vote.
Don't care, the take-home point is that unilateral secession is unconstitutional.
How does that make you feel?
:3 I await that answer :3

Really? When? You see, I remember things like state secession, new CS flag, new currency, swearing of new military oaths, etc. Aka people who didn't want to be "Americans {as the word had meant prior} any more.
If I'm remembering incorrectly, why was there such resistance to the IronClad Oath ("Damnesty") ?
Less then a century before the civil war, people did not want to be brits. What's your point? It's time to get over the civil war.
how can it be unconstitutional since it is not prohibited to the states by the constutution.
Do you want to secede from the Union ernst ?

Why should I have to tell you? Read the case and the majority opinion. The answer is right in front of your face.
We shouldn't honor traitors who broke free from the State to ensure that they could continue to engage in the most heinous institution in the country's history.
i think there should be such a day, but it should be celebrated differently from memorial day, something more befitting traitors and defenders of slavery. There should be parade every april 9 taking place on alabama's streets, with veterans dressed in union uniforms, commemorating the defeat of the confederacy, bayonets fixed in case any sore loser rebel scum attempt to disrupt the festivities.
Also included in the parade will be 500 white descendants of slavers, wearing rags and chains. The parade will end at a field, preserved for this annual celebration, where everyone will get to watch the descendants pick cotton the entire day while slave descendants get to whip them at their leisure
Anyone who tries to flee will be hung of course
you said it was unconstitutional..however the constitution does not prohibited the states from seceding..
the 10th amendment is very clear, if its not power of the federal government or prohibited to the states by the constitution then it is power of the states respectively and to the people.
Amendment X
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.
and the people of those southern states exercised their right to secede.
So EB...according to the Declaration of Independence, we are endowed by our Creator with “certain unalienable rights” including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
If that is the case, then it is not much of a stretch to argue that the right of secession is such a right. Would you personally consider this assumption to be true?
