    Even though the authoritarian SC pulled out of their ass at a later date, I know.

    Talk of succession was commonplace between 1776 and 1861. It was understood that secession was a viable option.
    this is derp's white flag

    everybody knows... it's common knowledge... it's understood

    i'm familiar with the history. nothing to support what you're saying. at the time of ratification, new york specifically brought this up and demanded that language be included to reserve their right to secede/withdraw from the union. it was discussed at the convention and was rejected.

    the articles of confederation called the union perpetual and the cons ution specifically states it is creating a "more perfect union"

    Yea, and language saying states could not secede was rejected. Why? Because the Cons ution wouldn't have been ratified if so.

    Phraseology like a "more perfect union" was certainly an effort to invoke a national pride that was second to state pride thereto then.
    You're stretching more than Reck's ass on a Saturday night to say it is some sort of express binding language against seccession though.

    And all of this is a sidebar to the fact that secession was a prevalent narrative throughout the Nineteenth century leading up to the Civil War.

    This book talks quite a bit about it if you're that interested.

    Okay. Well I give that book a thumbs up on the thumbs up / down scale.

    It's not among the better historical accounts in my collection though.
    But I've not read as much on the Civil War as other areas of history.
    That particular one had a lot of stuff I haven't read elsewhere, such as
    considerable depth into the other times the South came close to seceding.
    And New England was talking about secession in their own right.
    It overviews that some, too.

    Good stuff. Different times, for sure, but always lessons to learn from history.

    He'd done it before, board cuck. What changed this time, I dunno. Who cares. I just know you want a w really badly.

    Yea, I could research it on the internet. But that doesn't mean I want to take the time. I at least showed you if you want to know, one way.
    Or did you just want a cheap w and still want a cheap w?

    i have no way of knowing that the book says what you claim it says, though, short of buying the book.

    is there a synopsis or review/summary that will confirm that his book discusses the prevalent narrative throughout the 19th century that secession was a legal/legitimate maneuver?

    its your claim and you are just throwing a book recommendation at me and essentially telling me to look it up

    Good thing I'm not writing a college paper and don't need to include footnotes.

    You should try to rise above your mentor's ploys, Lite.

    I'm sure you could've confirmed this rather quickly on your own.

    if it was really a widespread and prevalent narrative, yes, either you or i should have been able to confirm it quickly without needing me to look it up for you in a book that i dont own

    The secession movements were quite public.

    See, if this was about your intellectual curiosity and not a desperate pursuit for a tiny w, it might be another story.

    quite public and yet the only way you've been able to "do ent" it is by referring to a single book published in 2013?

    Even more public than your announcement that you're a cuckold.

    It apparently wasn't the end of the discussion. You went spiraling.
