The Constitution is the contract that theoretically binds all states into perpetual union. If you can find a place where those signing conditions are stated in detail, I'd accept that as evidence.
The Armed Forces of the United States takes orders only from it's Commander in Chief. The US President.At foreign soldiers who had refused to obey orders to evacuate from the state governor.
There were no "separate countries" involved here. Only one. That's why it's called "The Civil War". Which is a war between citizens of the same country.Nope, all bets are not off. Separate countries have the right to expel hostiles. But just for grins, how do you source your "fact?"
As treason is defined in the Constitution that is essentially what they were.The question of the right to secession makes all the difference, given that the Left so frequently labels the Confederates "traitors."
Article Two. Section 1. Clause 8. Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."What's all that bushwah about "no oath sworn in heaven?"
Already answered in the negative several times already and have cited established Supreme Court law denying that any state has the right to unilaterally secede from the Union. But you keep asking it nonetheless expecting a different answer.All that mattered was, did the South have the right to secede or not. Typical politician, avoiding the key question.
You are wrong, my brothers won't fight for the right to own people. They were the enemy of the U.S. of A. when they decided that owning people was worth killing & dying for. It's that simple, no BS.Correct, and there is no comparison between the US defeating brothers and the US defeating Hitler.
Which is a perfect example of Godwins law.
Only noteworthy in the respect that their tactics and strategy resulted in a resounding and very costly defeat.What do I think of the War of Northern Attrition?
I think the Confederates had 3 of the 5 greatest tactical generals this country ever produced!
That's noteworthy
Accurately known as the South Being Racist Assholes Who Started a War So That They Could Own People.Also known as the Civil War.
I can't believe that people are whining 160 years later that the South started a war and got their asses kicked. Smells of Bitchery.The USA was right to free the slaves. They were wrong to then occupy and force the sovereign confederate people to be citizens of the USA.

Yet they were traitors that attacked the unionIt isnt that simple and never has been. Slavery was normal at the time, in the US of A as well, which wrote it into the constitution. Lincoln didnt even free the slaves in the north with his proclamation. He cared more about politics than slaves.
Lincoln: "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to 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."
He didnt see the south as enemies.

And, he was a lawyer. Eminent domain should have been considered.It isnt that simple and never has been. Slavery was normal at the time, in the US of A as well, which wrote it into the constitution.

The Union States are still supporting the Confederate states.Not exactly, for the military it was not a resounding defeat. For for years they fought outnumbered, underfunded, and using untrained soldiers. The union was simply larger, richer, and had even better generals.

LolI think a lot of Southerners would still like to buy and sell little girls and have others do their work for free.
LOL the people in the south sold people all the time, they sold little girls out from under Mama's care, they seperated families all the time, fearful of having tight family ties among the Cattel.Lol
This is what the left things of people they view as enemies. They specifically create false beliefs to dehumanize others.
Yeah, the same things happened in Latin America. And yet that poster did not say Latinos, he said Southerners.LOL the people in the south sold people all the time, they sold little girls out from under Mama's care, they seperated families all the time, fearful of having tight family ties among the Cattel.
One of the social dilemmas created through unequal protection of the laws.LOL the people in the south sold people all the time, they sold little girls out from under Mama's care, they seperated families all the time, fearful of having tight family ties among the Cattel.
The government against which he fought has honored Robert E. Lee on at least fiveYou bad they were traitors to America
That's niceThe government against which he fought has honored Robert E. Lee on at least five
postage stamps. Stonewall Jackson has also been memorialized on US stamps.
Some politically correct liberals may consider Confederate Generals like Lee as traitors
but it is obvious the U.S. government does not.
Dwight Eisenhower from Kansas a terrific General & considered a
top 5 President of all time when decorating the Oval Office
to suit himself had placed in the most prominent position the portrait of Robert E. Lee. My guess
is that Ike did not view Lee as a traitor but considered Lee a great leader of men as he was.
Ever hear of 'Fightin Joe" Wheeler.
'Fightin' Joe Wheeler is memorialized with a statue in Capital Hall & of course deserves one.
A top confederate general he became longtime congressman from Alabama in the postwar years,
before he donned the US arny blue once again as a major general in the war with Spain.
The fact that the US government, against which he had fought, gave Wheeler a position of high
command suggests the bad blood had begun to dissipate. Wikipedia also lists Fitzhugh Lee &
Matthew Butler as former Confederate major-generals who commanded troops in the Spanish-American war.
After the war, 15 Confederate Officers served as U.S. ambassadors or ministers to foreign countries'
You set the standard of evidence with your claim. Don't cry because someone shoves it back in your face.
That's nice
They were traitors to America and shoukd have been hung from a tree
