But hey, the South was right; states are allowed to secede. But the Union is allowed to declare war on them and beat them into submission ...
Is a Union a voluntary pact or a required pact? Does the Federal Govt have the right to beat up on a sovereign state for using its legal right to leave?
I'm saying that states have a right to secede. Once they secede they are a sovereign nation. The US Congress can vote to declare War on other nations.
So while a state has the legal right to secede, the Union has the right to Declare War on that new nation. That is effectively what happened. The Conferederacy seceded then the North declared War on them and recaptured it.
I agree with that. But I think the North should not have declared war on the South. It was over cotton, not slaves
I'll agree with that. The south could have went on its way to Biblical Theocracy with its high Holy Leaders Prescott, George, and George Bush II
While the North would go on to conquer Canada and join its fellow brother in Socialism (USSR) to stop Germany.
lol perhaps the North and South keep each other balanced .
