Re: Confederate Flag
OK, after the union invaded the south, there were some largely fantasy plans about siezing federal territories, but not states. This does nothing to change the fact that the CSA fought a defensive war.
The founding fahters did state in Article 10 that:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people
Thus, as secession is not banned by the constitution, it is a power reserved to the states (so long as they adhere to the principle of "fully in" or "completely out"). Face it, Lincoln launched an illegal war of aggression.
True but they didnt allow it either.
You would do good to learn some history. The spring of 1861 was the very beginning of the Civil War. History shows that there was indeed a plan to take over.
