"It was only called the 'Lost Cause' by the Yanks."

Obviously wrong.

The Southern states didn't "succeed" from the Union. No state can do that without the consent of the others.

In 1860 and 1861 slavery was legal in some states and not in others.

Once again....this is what happens when you are 100% educated by U.S. History books. I arrest my case.

When the war ended there were still slaves in some northern states

 

[Old Bookaroo]

That would be news to Gen. Robert E. Lee. He had the rare good sense to surrender and not prolong the agony with a pointless guerrilla war.

Personally, I don't think your case is against the law. It is simply factually incorrect. Interesting you quote Gen. Early after claiming only Yankees used "The Lost Cause." Why wasn't he covered by the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia? Because he'd been relieved of his command. He wore out his welcome.

Robert E. Lee's rare good sense had nothing to do with the situation he faced at Appomattox. His men soundly wiped General Custer and Sheridan's Calvary and drove them back for over a mile. And they did this without sleep or anything wholesome to eat for three days of forced marching. The only reason Robert E. Lee surrendered is because the 6th Corp of Infantry had been brought up during the night. Rather than having his men slaughtered by facing insurmountable odds, Robert E. Lee did the only thing he could do and surrendered. As far as the South losing the war, it ain't over yet?

It was legal in all of the United States for seventy years, why do you keep this denying this, Old Bookaroo?
The Confederate States only lasted 4 1/2 years, and yes they did succeed from the Union.

You wrote "It was legal in all of the United States for seventy years, why do you keep this denying this, Old Bookaroo?"

So it is your contention from the time the Constitution was ratified until the Civil War there were no free states and slave states? That all the states within the United States were slave states?

Did I state that correctly?

Old Bookaroo, you are becoming a Lost Cause.
Are you referring to the Missouri Compromise?
Even after that Act there was slavery in the states not affected in that, including Northern states like New York and New Jersey.
You are aware of that, or are you smugly content to pin all the evils of slavery in America on the 4 1/2 years of the Confederacy?
You do seem to have a revisionist agenda of blaming the South.

ACTUALLY, it was a STATE'S RIGHTS "Issue"; SOME "needed" slaves & SOME didn't, SO...

 

[ECS]

Old Bookaroo, when the Confederacy succeeded from the Union, was slavery legal in the United States ?
A simple yes or no will suffice.

You still keep avoiding this question, Old Bookaroo. Why?
Yes or No.
A simple answer.

You have no standing to demand I answer your random questions.

However, in this case I already posted a reply. The fact that you may not like it doesn't change anything. Vermont, for example, became a free state before the Articles of Confederation were signed.

"The Ohio Constitution of 1803 prohibited slavery, honoring one of the provisions of the Northwest Ordinance. The convention members failed to extend the suffrage to African-American men in the constitution by a single vote."

Your claim that "It was legal in all of the United States for seventy years" is plain wrong.

What about the Joissey shore?

 

[Old Bookaroo]

Did Texas declare independence to preserve slavery after Mexico made it illegal?

Again.. Buckarooski, below on the left is another example of the way cold hard facts sound without any candy coating or censorship. Unfortunately some of the United States history has been written with
candy coating and censorship leaving some of us with an illusion of what we were to study and quote as fact .

No, Santa Anna overthrew the constitution of 1824 was the main reason, same reason Zacatecas rebelled and Santa Anna put them down first. The same reason the Alamo flag had 1824 on it. My GGgrandfather came to Texas in 1835, he had no slaves also. Not everything is about slavery. He didn't fight but received land for loaning a mule to another man that went to fight.
