At the time states believed they had right to Secede from the United States. This view was held not only by southern states, but also some northern states. Thirteen southern states chose to secede and form the Confederate States of America. It was Lincoln that declared war on the Confederate States of America to preserve the Union.  The issue as to whether a state could secede from the United States was not decided by the Supreme Court until 1869. The leaders of the Confederacy were NOT found guilty treason. Therefore those that fought on the side of the Confederacy were not committing treason. 

The Constitution wasn't rewritten or revised after the Civil War.... the Supreme Court simply upheld  what was already there.  

Texas Vs. White simply solidified what was already present, but ignored. 

And the USA never declared war on the confederacy.  They deemed it a rebellion.

The Confederacy did however, declare war on the United States. 

There is a lot of conjecture as to why the CSA leaders weren't tried with treason..... some say it was to help in the healing of the nation.  Some say it would have been too long and drawn out.   Lots of conjecture.  

I guess if they had actually been tried and found guilty of treason.....we wouldn't be having this discussion.  There wouldn't be any monuments to discuss.

You are really out in left field with your interpretation of RINO ... I knew Ronald Reagan and he was No RINO .... Cornyn, Romney, Murkowski,  Collins, Boehner,  Flake ... those are RINOs .... 

Kasich is another RINO that comes to mind ... he was nothing like a true Reagan Republican   ...

There are literally hundreds... of not thousands of links online calling Reagan a RINO.  

The GOP has morphed into something Reagan wouldn't even recognize (nor support).  

Ive never voted for a democrat in my life on the national or state level (And rarely at the local level).  Yet I get attacked by Trumpsters on here anytime I step out of their narrow view of faux patriotism. 

I post facts, links, sources of information..... and I get memes and emojis in return. 

Yall take a differing view about as well as King Cheeto does.  It’s easy to see where your marching orders come from.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of links online stating all kind of crazy :poop: ... and probably that many gullible people believing the :BS: they spew ... you have to be smart enough to separate the 🐂 :poop: from the truth .... don't be like Larry, PeePee and BooooooHawg and believe everything you read  ....  Yes, there are still way too many RINOs left in the GOP but we are gaining ground  ... the GOP is still the only viable solution to at least slowing down the madness when you look at the alternative .... President Trump has worked wonders in steering the ship in the right direction ... so don't go soft and throw the baby out with the bath water ....

So says you. 

Even conservative publications call him a RINO. 

Yes.  There is tons of misinformation out there. 

But just because you don't agree with something doesn’t make it false. 

By today’s standards of conservatism.....Reagan was no doubt a RINO. 

You praise Trump for his work.  

But some of us fear he’s done generational damage to the GOP.   More people should be concerned.  But y’all are too busy ripping your own party apart instead of focusing on the real enemy. 

But carry on.

The big mistake President Reagan made was believing Tip Oneal who lied about and never followed through with promised spending cuts .... Jimma Carter left the military depleted and in shambles after the Vietnam war and Ronald Reagan was accused of being a big spender for having to rebuild it ... which is always the case following a dimocrat in the WH ... rebuilding the military was critical and necessary and it resulted in the break up of the Soviet Union  ... So if you want to say Reagan wasn't as conservative as he should have been, go ahead ... it was necessary spending, unlike the socialist spending spree these days .... any way you slice it, Reagan was the 2nd best President of our lifetime ...

Best in MY lifetime. 

I wasn't old enough to vote....but I've studied him extensively.  

Reagan was a fiscal conservative and leaned to the left on social issues.

The far right would tear him apart today.  He wouldn't even win the nomination in the current state of the GOP.

Generational damage to the GOP? .... Laughable! ....  it needed to be torn down! ... You have fallen for the never-Trumpers establishment Republican whiners  that wanted to keep the dysfunctional status quo Washington bureaucracy  Donald Trump wouldn't play their game and now their panties are in a wad because he is draining the swamp and they can't control him ... Establishment Republicans like Billy Crystal and George Will hated Ronald Reagan and they hate President Trump  ...

So if we get hit by a blue wave this Fall.... and the GOP loses the White House and the congress.... will it still be laughable?

How about in 2024.... and we still can't get the GOP back on track?  Still laughable?

2028?  2032?

When will we stop laughing and start thinking we made a mistake?????

"Whites with a bachelor’s degree and under the age of 50 are increasingly aligned with Democrats."

That's why I said that the GOP is doing generational damage.  That should be VERY CONCERNING to an aging nation. 

We have an entire generation being poisoned against the GOP.  Why????  Because of one guy.  

So yeah..... that's concerning to me.

If you are really concerned about a blue wave, you better start praying for President Trump  .... he's  the only thing standing between us and open borders Marxism and becoming another Venezuela  ....

What part of we don't need to get the GOP back on the same track it was on before President Trump do you not understand? ...

Robert E Lee fought in war for our country... owned slaves. 
 

John Tyler owned slaves in our country....

Mexico has good food but in another country.......

Apples to oranges. 
 

Another dumb thing is compare these times to Germany. Last I checked we are going around Holocaust’n and genocide’n........

Change the redskins name, ok. Might as well change every other one too. They all will fit someone’s agenda. 

Robert E. Lee never owned a slave, they were his wives who inherited them from her father.
