Re: Civil War a conspiracy against the Constitutio

George, I think what is meant is that at the time, slavery was Constitutional; therefore, any act to free slaves aside from amending the Constitution, as happened after the war, was illegal. The North never agreed that the states that seceded were out of the union, but in rebellon against it. We know that was not the case. The Confederacy was not a threat to the US government; they just wanted to leave it. David and Joe may of course have other ideas. Stan
