It doesnt make any difference, a state remains a state in the Union even during times of rebellion.
If that's true then why did the Confederate states have to apply for "readmission" to the union? Where they part of the union before they were readmitted?
Lincoln believed so, Johnson believed so, but the Radical Republicans said the southern states (other than TN) had to "reconstructed" and repentant and make restitution before they could be readmitted to the Union.
And, actually . . . secession is treason.
Yep, Reconstruction was a mistake, But it's funny listening to you Bitch about the "Radical" Republicans back then. Want to talk about who the Democrats were back then? The side that lost the war, that's who. lol
