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.

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 ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You praise Trump for his work. But some of us fear he’s done generational damage to the GOP. More people should be concerned.

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 ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
