[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] The North never lacked for supplies or manpower and yet many Confederate prisioners of war needlessly died in Norhtnern prision camps because their basic needs were not met. [/QUOTE]I seem to remember that certain Confederate POW camps were somewhat less than luxury establishments; Andersonville Prison (Which MM mentioned earlier) in particular. [QUOTE]It is clear that the concept of a union between the several states as written in the Constitution comes from the Articles of Confederation and should be a permanent institution. As such, leaving a Union so constituted would, I think, require more that the vote of the state wishing to leave. [/QUOTE]But the US constitution also enshrines the idea that the people are the ones who decide their own destiny; surely if a majority of the population of a state votes for secession (which did NOT happen in any of the Confederate states) the the US govt, by the principles it claims to uphold, would be obliged to go with the decision? [/QB][/QUOTE]
