If I Had Been President of the Confederacy. . . .

The case of Texas vs. White that Unkatore cited

Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1868)

Texas v. White: States do not have the right to unilaterally secede from the United States, so the Confederate states during the Civil War always remained part of the nation.

I have now linked the actual opinion.

Texas vs White was not about the Union being Perpetual. That has never been argued before the Supreme Court.

Don't follow @Unkatore. He is just an emoji queen.

The Union was declared 'perpetual' under the 'Articles of Confederation'. But In 1787, those were thrown out the window, along with the 'perpetual union'.

And because they threw those out the window, they knew better than to declare the Union perpetual in the Constitution of 1787.

If I had been president of the Confederacy, instead of Jefferson Davis, here is what I would have done differently:

Did you even read the OP? Did you not notice the repeated statements about calling for a gradual emancipation program?

Why "gradual"? How about "Slavery is an affront to humanity and it ends TOMORROW".

Oh, wait, Trump was one of three countries that refused to vote for a UN resolution declaring the TransAtlantic slave trade a crime against humanity.

The other, no surprise, was Israel.

Um, yeah, all of them did.

Only countries to vote against this.. .US, Israel, and Argentina.
