The Constitution has endured because it is a living document subject to reinterpretation. It was amended to end slavery and allow women to vote, among other things. I'm sorry that you think the Union should have disbanded to allow the southern states to continue with slavery, but that viewpoint lost.

Tell you the truth if Hillary becomes president, I expect the modern day secessionist movement in the South and Southwest which is just a fringe movement to grow. I'm getting to the point where I'd support an amicable separation. We had a good run, but who are we kidding? We just want different things.

This was settled by the Supreme Court in Texas v. White in 1869. Nothing has changed since, so that decision is still going to stand.
Guess we can close the thread now, right?

If the CSA is an independent country, doesn't Congress have the authority to declare war?
I literally can't believe I'm participating in this again.

They started the war, we won it. Slavery apologists need to just suck it up already.

It has nothing to do with slavery. Just following the constitution. But people have been undermining the constitution since the day it went into effect. But that does not make it right.
