Sigh. The traitors to the constitution were the states wanting to outlaw slavery, both legal and constitutional.
those states would have overwhelmed the south and voted them into oblivion.
sessession was a legal concept taught at West Point. It’s why it was an option.
lincoln saw how much money the north was going to lose because of lost tariffs since the south had lower rates.
thats why the war was fought. Lincoln had also promised to evacuate ft. Sumpter, but didn’t.
lastly, don’t use 21st century standards to judge the south. It’s called Overton windows.
