I am not interested in modern interpretations of the matter; we all know the North won and rewrote everything, including voiding the secession clause Texas had been careful to clearly and explicitly set in its Union treaty.

What I'd like to know is, according to the applicable legal texts (declaration of Independance, Union treaties, the Constitution, whatever...) as they stood in 1860, did the Southern States have a case for maintaining that they could step out of the union?

My research up to now seems to indicate they did, since secession is never mentioned, and it is stated that powers not otherwise delegated to the federal authorities remain in the hand of the people. This means that elected State governments, or at worst an explicit manifestation of the will of the people, such as by a poll, would have legally been able to negate the union with the US.

Now, I am not American, and I may only have a partial view of the matter, so, what do you folk know about it?

This might seem as a dumb question, but in Braveheart (I know the movie is very innaccurate) the Scottish doesn't have as advanced battle equipment as the English, instead they are wearing kilts and stuff (I know this is inaccurate too). The reason I think this is a bit strange is because William Wallace was not "barbaric" but a nobleman of the Kingdom of Scotland, and thus I thought that the Scottish might in reality have armor and battle equipment that was as modern as the English'. I mean this was as late as in the end of the 1200s This is just a question please correct me if I'm wrong.

.............has just died, but before he died he critised his former colleagues claiming that they blew up an apartment block in Russia killing many people and blaiming the chethens using this as a pretext to war. I don't think this is conspiracy theory. What do you think?

Include the Greek Parthenon, the Roman Pantheon, and the Baths of Caracalla in your discussion. How did the building techniques used by each determine the types of spaces that could be constructed?

I'm writing a book. One scene takes place in Arabia in the days of the barbarians. Who can give me information about what life was like then? What years were the barbarians at their height? What did the people who lived in villages then do with their time? What sort of business did they do? Why would they settle there? How did they protect themselves against the raiders?
