If states are not allowed to leave legally, why did the Confederate States have to be re-admitted?

If a Constitutional Amendment was necessary in 1919 to give Congress the power to regulate or ban ONE CHEMICAL, why has NO amendment been necessary to give Congress the power to regulate or ban thousands of other chemicals?

Because they had been at war and had to show they were no longer at war but were peacefully part of the union

An interesting and provocative question. Good comment.

Lincoln WAS a tyrant and a mass murderer. He made war against states for exercising a natural right declared in the Declaration. Thus, Lincoln nullified the Declaration


Agree.

I called Lincoln a mass murderer once on FR, and I flamed so it was unbelievable.

Because if you win the war, you can do anything you want. The Union was nothing but a bunch of thugs before the war and worse afterwards.

The states weren't readmitted to the union because the U.S. position was that they'd never left. However, after walking out of Congress, their congressional delegations had to be readmitted to the House and Senate. Look it up.
