Liar. It was an insult and you know it.
That's what you intended it to be.
You don't get to speak for the nation. You only get to speak for yourself. Just because YOU don't get what the word 'confederacy' means, it's not my problem.
It's yours.
Yes, the South fought a war to support slavery. However, their reasoning was to a certain extent valid. It WAS a violation of the 4th amendment. The federal government WAS trying to take their property without compensation. The fact that the property in question was slaves is immaterial to that reasoning.
No, I don't condone slavery. The South lost for that reason, despite the valid reasoning they made. Lincoln rushed the issue. Slavery was already slowly dying out as an institution. Given time, it would have ended anyway without the war. Lincoln felt he had to rush the issue since so many States were seceding from the Union.
However, I also don't condone forcing constitutional amendments by duress either.

Oh I can't speak for the nation but you can. LOL I'm not speaking for the nation. I'm simply saying what every web site I have been able to find says and they all agree when one searchs for confederacy they all reference the Southern states. So sport you are the one with the defective argument.
Ok for the last time. Here is the defination of a confederacy
con·fed·er·a·cy

plural noun:*confederacies
a league or alliance, especially of confederate states.
"the Italian confederacy known as the Lombard League"
synonyms:federation,*confederation,*alliance,*leag ue,*association,*coalition,*combine,*consortium,*c onglomerate,*cooperative,*partnership,*syndicate,* compact,*band,*group,*circle,*ring;*More
another term for*Confederate States of America.

So even though confederacies exist in other forms it is most reconized as the CSA.
I'm not trying to.
Yes you are, liar.
Argument of ignorance. Websites don't define the word 'confederacy'. No website owns that word.
You, you are making an argument of ignorance fallacy. That itself is a defective argument. No fallacy is a valid argument.
