So you keep saying while you deliberately ignore the fact the USA Congress voted to pass a slavery forever amendment.
All they had to do to keep slavery forever was stay in the Union.
But you don't care about truth. You only care about what you wish to believe.
For a guy/gal who always claims not to have dog in this fight, no relatives or ancestors on either side you always come down of the side of these Southern scoundrels, don't you?
That is because the evidence shows *THEY* were in the right, and the people who invaded them to subjugate them were in the wrong.
And slavery has nothing to do with why the DC corruption cartel invaded them.
