No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

That was made AFTER the civil war

Ok, this might just be the dumbest comment yet in this thread.

Yo, dumbfuck.... that's from the U.S. Constitution ... ratified by the states long before the Civil war.

The contract clause was written in 1867, dumbfuck

Holyfuckingshit!

This just goes to show how retarded secessionist apologetics are.

Dumbfuck... additions to the original Constitution come in the form of amendments. Do I need to also teach you what amendment means? The contract clause is part of the original Constitution, Article I, section 10.

Here, see it for yourself...

You are right. I was getting it confused with something else.. sorry. It wasn't interpreted until 1867. In fact, I believe the founders clarified that into dealing with private transactions and such. Not secession.

A dictator is a president who shuts down 300 newspapers for opposing a war the dictator started. Next question.

Lincoln was not a dictator. Just because someone has an opinion does not give them the right to take the law into their own hands. So, even if you believe something it does not mean you have the authority to judge it beyond what society and the community believe.

Sorry, but you are not in a position to rewrite history. The war was officially started after the south seceded and opened fire on a United States military installation on Federal property, ceded to the U.S. federal government decades earlier, legally, by the state of South Carolina. With both parties owning concurrent jurisdiction of that fort, and the territory it was built upon, neither party could unilaterally declare transfer of ownership back to South Carolina.

The south could not form their own confederacy without violating Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

The north could have sought legal redress; though given the circumstances where the south abandoned the constraints of the Constitution, would have no doubt been fruitless. But then the south, as heartless and stupid as they were, gave Lincoln a military option when the Confederacy declared war by firing upon U.S. military inside a U.S. fort.

It was probably not included because they werent forming a totalitarian government. There are checks and balances that negate the need to secede.
