Every nation in the world was officially neutral throughout the war, and not one formally recognized the Confederacy.

(well, there may have been one no-nothing tiny "country " of about 18 people somewhere in Europe who did, but I forget it's name.)

The Confederacy was a "pretended Confederate government."
 
Re: Confederate monuments

The only people who should be memorialized in the War of Southern Treason should be the Union officer and soldiers who preserved the Republic, and those that supported them.

They were traitors, pure and simple. They levied war against the gov't. They wanted to destroy the Unites States.

Every Confederate soldier and political leader was a traitor.

This is really, really basic stuff here.

What do you mean? I haven't changed my opinion on these monuments. They still symbolize an awful cause which tried to rip the United States apart in the name of owning other human beings.

The Founding Father's *would* have been traitors. And they knew they would be hung as traitors - even as they signed the DoI..

Difference is -- they won.

Winning...is everything.

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." -- Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence

“If this be treason, make the most of it.” - Patrick Henry

The Supreme Court identified a loophole in Texas v. White. A State cannot unilaterally decide to leave the Union, but the decision implies that a State can secede with consent of the Union presumably through an act of Congress.

Thanks I didn't realize that. I have to read the case.

When people erect monuments to support an event of group , that act of support in itself is more important than how many years had past.

When were the monuments erected? Perhaps you can share with us.

Pssst: It wasn't 150 years ago, and it coincided with something else.
