Declaration of Independance an Illegal Document?

Pardon me, sir, but that pesky bit of uproar some years back is more properly referred to as The War of Northern Aggression. Did I not have it on good authority that you are indeed a learned gentleman, and therefore the term clearly the result of error or misguided, perhaps, even intemperate speech, I might find it necessary to invite you to settle the issue upon the Field of Honor.

Oh, goody, a maybe proposed duel! I love duels.

Well, that's a misnomer. See, it all started, officially, when the treasonous southerners fired on a U.S. federal facility, Ft. Sumter, in South Carolina, on April 12, 1861-thus it is more correctly known as The War of Southern treason.

Oh, and rubber bands at 10 paces. :lfao:

That's why it's called the War of Southern Treason.
:lfao:

That's what they get, for losing.

The interesting bit being of course that none of the Confederate leadership was ever tried for treason.


As to rubber bands.... 'youll shoot yer eyes out'

Jefferson Davis was arrested and charged with treason in 1865, was jailed until 1867, and would have stood trial in 1868, if not for Andrew Johnson's general amnesty for Confederate leaders.

Davis, btw, was arrested wearing his wife's clothes.....:lfao:

Funny how it was okay for the colonies to leave the UK back in the 18th century, but the South was not allowed to leave the USA in the 19th...

These things rarely end w/o a fight, and it`s the winners who make the rules. It`s no different than Sukerkin`s example of the Magna Carta. If you`re strong enough to say "I`m not puttin` up with this" and be taken seriously, then you win. If not, you get to keep eating the same old **** sandwich. That`s one reason why the founding fathers were against having a standing army and in favor of an armed public.

Never heard it refered to as that. Interesting. I have only heard it called the "civil war" and the "war of northern aggression".
