Because I saw nothing worth commenting on in that post. Slavery was 'way back in history' Well thank you Captain Obvious!? But then so was Jefferson Davis and you certainly have a hard on for him going forward don't you! Why not slavery? After all by default they go hand in hand. If Davis was right? Then so is slavery because in the Confederacy under his Presidency ? It would have continued. Historically there is no other option. You have Davis? You have slavery!
But beyond that your reply to my most recent post doesn't even pretend to address the challenge I raised in that post i.e. if your so sure your right? Why not challenge the right to secession in court?
But then you do that a lot don't you? Someone proves a claim you made is wrong e.g. that there were no confederate diplomats overseas during the civil war and what happens? You ignore it and move on. Someone challenges you to take your beliefs to court if your so sure your right. You ignore it & move on.
But then that's you in a nut shell isn't it. Your proved wrong on some historical fact or asked to actually do something that might (just) actually prove your right. And what happens? Nothing!
Grow a spine.
Did you google "Jeff Davis trial for treason was a test case for the legality of secession"?
Well, you don't like me bringing up the War Between the States. That means slavery should never be brought up also. Correct? But it always is. And yet no one complains about it. Blacks and liberals love to bring up how the white man in the South were those evil slave holders. And the poor blacks just can't get over it. Then you have February as black history month. So all month long blacks get to celebrate being slaves and how they were mistreated and how the world owes them....forever. But that's ok. Just don't let that Southern white man bring up the War. He just needs to let it go.
Who said slavery was wrong? It is not ideal, but who says it is wrong.
No need to challenge secession in court as our government today operates on the lie that secession is illegal. All as a result of war. And just like you want to use Tx. vs White as proof, they would do the same. And just like you refuse the truth of that case, so do they. And just like you refuse to see that when the Federal govt. had the opportunity to try secession before the world in the Jeff Davis treason trial, and ran from it, that that was proof for the legality of secession, so they would reject the same. The courts will never admit that Jeff Davis was not a traitor. Never admit that secession is legal. Doesn't make them right, as I have shown. It just shows that lady justice doesn't wear a blindfold.
Why don't you bring up the Jeff Davis trial before a court today to have him branded legally as a traitor? That way you could silence all critics...if you can prove it. And claiming 1869 would not prove it.
I didn't ignore your claim concerning international relations. The South was blockaded. And Seward warned both Britian and France that if they acknowledge the Confederacy, it meant war. Also see the 'Trent affair' where two Southern diplomats were seized from a British ship, by a U.S. ship. It took over a month for England to get them released and averting war, but they were released. But there would be no international relations with the Confederacy. Lincoln administration made that clear.
