This is completely false. Bogus. Bullsh**t.
You do realize that West Point taught secession as a legal option for states up until the Civil War.
I do not realize it because it is not a true statement.
Yes it was used at West Point. Does that prove that every section of it was taught as being correct? No.
What I said is a true statement. That book taught that secession was a legal option. That book was used at West Point. Your first post claimed my statement was incorrect. Clearly you are wrong.
What you said is not a true statement.
Rawle's book was a text at West Point for a
brief period of time. In the book Rawle does express an opinion that secession was a right retained by the states.
But prove that this portion of Rawle was taught to cadets at West Point as being correct doctrine.
You also claimed it was taught 'up until the Civil War'. Prove that Rawle continued to be used at West Point, when evidnce indicates it was not -- Jefferson Davis himself claiming that when he got to his senior year Rawle had been replaced by Kent's Commentaries for constitutional law class.
Rawle was published in 1825. Davis claimed Kent's work replaced it by 1828.
Your clutching at straws to try to prop up your mythology of fictitious states rights and your pathetic adoration of the confederacy.
