Bull****. Translation: It was in the south... And south also payed taxes. So therefore it was southern property. Not our fault the gubament put their **** on the souths land.

No, property rights don't mean **** if you don't OWN the property any longer.

When did the military sell it or relinquish it?

Just because South Carolina seceded didn't mean it wasn't their lawful property anymore.

Actually, you don't, but I can see that you're more interested in posturing and insulting than actually using logic. Suit yourself.

You read many of the founders writing, have you? You clearly haven't even bothered to look at even one. Pick whatever one you want and you are wrong.



The Confederate states committed treason by the definition in the Constitution. The end. :)

And that is? The introduction? Where exactly does it even imply what you are claiming? Still haven't shown me what you mean by the definition.

Where does it say that in the Constitution?

Yes it was. If Cuba decides to end the lease of Guantanimo bay it is no longer U.S. territory. That is the most accurate analogy of the Fort Sumter issue, when the south said GTFO the fort was no longer within federal territory. I don't understand how people can't understand that. Or is it Won't?

Cuba and the US were separate countries when they entered the contract. The US and the CSA were the same country. That is a very very false analogy.

So again, when did the US give up property rights? Never.

But it still holds true. Cuba is control of their property. When the CSA succeeded the south became their property.

Why? Because they said so? That's not how property rights have ever worked.
 
Essentially, what all of you pro-Confederacy people are saying is that if you say something is yours, it's yours. That's not how property rights have ever worked. That's not how independence has ever worked. Many groups have declared their independence without every acquiring it. The Confederacy falls under that category. The declared it, but never got it. Why on Earth you're trying to pretend that they're immune from the reality that all those other groups exist in is beyond me.
