How are even engaged in these discussions if you didn't know that? The Hartford Convention is basic American history.
My takeaway from it is Secession didn't happen, ergo undermining your position that secession would have been inevitable even without slavery.
Will you deny that the Confederate Constitution was profoundly different from the original?
And my position is that it almost happened without slavery as an issue supporting my position that it most certainly would have happened at some point without slavery.
Yes, the Confederate Constitution was BETTER than our Constitution and attempted to rectify some of the weaknesses of the original that had become apparent by 1861.
But regardless of what it was or wasn't, it was the lawful, democratic expression of a free people who desired nothing more than to live under a government of their choosing.
