, "----it is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING".

I'm just posting the Articles of Secession. If you say they are meaningless, I really don't know how to respond to that.

start doing REAL research from primary sources

These are the Articles of Secession. I could dig up some more, from the other states, but again, if they are meaningless...

the so-called articles of secession ARE meaningless, as they were NOT official documents AND were generally UN-READ by any other than the authors, who were UN-elected and represented NO official board, government or commission.the authors represented essentially NOBODY but themselves.

it would be NO DIFFERENT if 10 friends and i decided to publish a new constitution for the USA: MEANINGLESS & VAIN-GLORIOUS.

until the 1960s when the revisionists arose in the "hallowed halls " of NE academia, NOBODY in either history faculties at colleges and universities OR serious independent scholars thought that the so-called "articles" were important or of merit.
