And thereby Bozo you have just proven the point that there WAS no rebellion! How can a different Country rebel against a government of another country that isn't their government?!

Because you were only a government in your own minds. It had no legal status, Complaining about your rights getting trampled when the law came down after you started shooting up the place makes you a hypocrite, and one more minority in America playing victim politics.

suppression of the 9th and 10th Amendment rights of the seceded Southern States

Rights they'd renounced.

So tell me why the North was sooooooooo hungry for Southern Cotton prior to 1861? And tobacco also!

Because of a booming population, I'd guess. All those immigrants who weren't going south.

Also why didn't the North feel the overriding need to employ former slaves during the Industrial Revolution of the late 19th century? Oh no! They employed emigrants to fill the ranks of the workers needed as I guess they figured the former slaves weren't high enough on the food chain to give those jobs to

What on earth are you talking about? The first wave of the Great Migration started in the 1890s, a single generation from agricultural slavery and Reconstruction. Were we supposed to ship them up on trains the day after Appomattox? Meanwhile the immigrants just kept on coming, getting off their boats at New York and Boston.

Your ancestors were nothing more than a horde of avarice driven lice who infested the Southern states under the auspices of war to line their own pockets.

There you go again, giving those terrific sound bites that makes any decent person think you're a raving nutbar.

"Complaining about your rights getting trampled when the law came down after you started shooting up the place makes you a hypocrite, and one more minority in America playing victim politics."

I seem to recall that there was no shooting going on until Lincoln instigated it by trying to reinforce Ft. Sumter. No victim politics here Rita!

"suppression of the 9th and 10th Amendment rights of the seceded Southern States"
"Rights they'd renounced."

No Rita - they used them to secede! And even you admitted that AFTER the secession they were "another country"!

"Because of a booming population, I'd guess. All those immigrants who weren't going south."

But they were still supporting slavery by purchasing these goods, kinda makes you a hypocrite!

"What on earth are you talking about? The first wave of the Great Migration started in the 1890s, a single generation from agricultural slavery and Reconstruction. Were we supposed to ship them up on trains the day after Appomattox?"

You guys were the ones who wanted immediate emancipation of the slaves, but you never did give a thought about what the former slaves would do AFTERWARD! Lincoln did though, I believe he said "root, hog or die".

"There you go again, giving those terrific sound bites that makes any decent person think you're a raving nutbar."

A yankee calling theirself decent leaves one much to laugh about! Know whut ah mean RITA?!
