Yea the date was around the time that confederate democrats starting talking about secession. So why should the date be evidence that the vote proves anything?
Your logic here is akin to saying that if the Senate voted that global warming was real then it must prove it? It of course would not.
And are you claiming that I am a New England puritan? I do believe in the Creator but I am not even religious at all.
Started?

Want to "Phone-a-Friend"? Secession was THE issue on March 2, 1861. Your fearless leader Lincoln, the man child, was about as historically incorrect as you are. The Senators casting those votes could not deny the facts, unlike your hero. They knew that the States reserved the right to reassume their own governance:
. all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several states, to be by them exercised.
That the powers of government may be reassumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary to their happiness
Those are Northern States, by the way...
Here is your hero,Lincoln "What is a "sovereignty" in the political sense of the term?"
What is Sovereignty? This is the man you worship?
Who are the parties to it? The people--not the people as composing one great body, but the people as composing thirteen sovereignties.James Madison
The people and their States are Sovereign; they speak as one..
