I have. I've read the history books myself. I've listened to self-proclaimed "educators" who had your same ideas, and were, in fact, teaching those ideas to children.

I like your model threads. It's a shame, because I've lost all respect for you.

You have no excuse for your ignorance then. I care nothing about respect from a fool.

Are you under the impression that the articles of the confederacy were still law of the land, as far as South Carolina was concerned?

Your question is absurd and shows your ignorance. Do yourself a favor and do some study of American history. You’ll see the constitution said nothing about the issue of session and in fact it had been seriously considered by more than half of the states by the time it was finally done in December 1860, including northern states. For example, the Louisiana Purchase caused serious discussion in Massachusetts in 1808. There was also a good deal of support in New England for session over the War of 1814.
