That is certainly true now, but was it true before the war?
The war didn't change the Constitution. So if it was true before the war it remains true now.
What the war did was settle the issue, even the Supreme Court recognizes that.
Another thing, technically it did change the Constitution. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were a direct result of the Civil War.
Just saying.
If it didn't change the Constitution then all the war did was kill people. Might doesn't make right. And I was referring to the issue of secession. The Constitution was never amended to make secession illegal.
