Yup. states were a major part of the name. Sort of like the European
Union. Separate governments combing for a specific purpose.


The countries making up the European Union are free to vote themselves
out of it, ala Brexit. The states in the United States are not free to
vote themselves out of the American union, much as I joke about
California, et al, moving on.


Just exactly where is that defined in the Constitution?
They talk about how you get in but they are silent about how or even
if you can leave.


A number of states left...you recall what that got them?


An aggressive and unconstitutional invasion from the North?

You still duck the question. Where, in the constitution, does it say
the states can't secede? Where does it say the president has the
authority to declare war on them for it?
Just as a sanity check I read the constitution carefully again today
and it is silent on the issue.
It is interesting that Lincoln recognized the secession when it was
convenient to do so while denying it was actually valid. (Specifically
Article IV Section 3(1) and West Virginia)


You're the best "snickers man" on here.


You still have not told me where Lincoln got the constitutional
authority to invade the south.
