I'll take it from that it was documented historical fact then and iirc we were talking about their right to leave the union, it's odd, first of all you attack the author of an opinion piece whilst ignoring the said documented historical fact within and now you're moving the goalposts here as well.

Not sure how the goalposts are being moved when we were discussing Secession, and Virginia’s Ordinance of Secession specifically mentions slavery.
Quote:
The people of Virginia, in their ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, adopted by them in Convention, on the 25th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eight-eight, having declared that the powers granted them under the said Constitution were derived from the people of the United States, and might be resumed whensoever the same should be perverted to their injury and oppression, and the Federal Government having perverted said powers, not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern slaveholding States.

Never heard about this at the time but Ulysses S Grant's statue in San Francisco was pulled down by a mob a couple of years back apparently, wtf goes through some people's minds, so fecking self righteous and without a shred of historical awareness
