I laughed when I read your slogan "Southern by the grace of God." We always grew up saying "American by birth, Texan by the grace of God." The south provided/(s) food and oil for much of the north, but they provide consumers. Not that one is better than the other, just that we are complimentary. This is my final political thought for this thread (yeah right). If you want to complain about many blacks not doing with what they were given, you should be complaining about Brown vs. the Board of Education. |

>They were not states first, then built the Union.
Then who exactly was at the Constitutional Conventions? I thought it was representatives from the states that assembled to form a national government after they won freedom from England. |

"Then who exactly was at the Constitutional Conventions? I thought it was representatives from the states that assembled to form a national government after they won freedom from England."
They were representatives from the 13 colonies or de facto states, and upon ratification of the U.S. Constitution, joined the Union and became states under the authority of the Union. They were not states under a non-binding or suggested leadership like the U.N. They became subordinate to the Union. Their statehood was not the same before and after ratification of the Constitution, there was a change in order and authority. |

If there were no states creating the Federal government, then
1. Why did the framers refer to the nation as "The United States" 2. Why was the Constitutional Convention begun by saying "...a Convention of delegates who shall have been appointed by the several States be held at Philadelphia..." ? 3. If not states, what entities did the Articles of Confederation unite? |

The Dukes of Hazzard gave the rebel flag a bad name.

Thanks, Isaac. I majored in Political Science and actually wrote a term paper on the "right to secession."

Agree or disagree, that's how it is. Many people disagreed with the idea that the Earth was round, but alas, it is.
