The member States of the Confederacy!

The below dates are the original dates of secession of the thirteen Southern States which became member States of the Confederate States of America. The vary nature of having been invaded, conquered and occupied, then forced to rescind their Articles of Secession and rejoin the Union of States, has caused these acts of force to be invalid. Therefore the Articles of Secession which were passed on these dates, as well as the Confederate States Constitution that authorized the Confederate States of America, remain in effect. Howbeit these Articles of Secession as well as the Confederate States Constitution continue to be subjects of the occupation and thereby suppressed.

Dates of Secession

1. 20 December 1860 - South Carolina - 1st State to secede

2. 9 January 1861 - Mississippi - 2nd State to secede

3. 10 January 1861 - Florida - 3rd State to secede

4. 11 January 1861 - Alabama - 4th State to secede

5. 19 January 1861 - Georgia - 5th State to secede

6. 26 January 1861 - Louisiana - 6th State to secede

12. 19 August 1861 - Missouri - 12 State to secede

13. 10 December 1861 - Kentucky - 13th State to secede

The reactivation of these dates as well as the Confederate States Constitution requires only the liberation of the Confederate States of America from occupation, subjugation and cultural genocide. Afterward the valid but vacant seats in the Confederate States Government would then be filled through a national election arranged for that purpose. Therefore the dates of secession of the member States of the Confederate States of America remain in effect retroactive and the occupation does not alter this reality.

God save the Confederacy
