One does not offer a "peace treaty" to a criminal gang, even a criminal gang that controls territory. Government merely takes the gang down. Since the "Confederate States" was never a legitimate country in the first place but was merely an internal rebel gang, there was never any need to have a "peace treaty".

The first answer is no, but the South was slippery. Think of how many presidents have been from the South - Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lyndon Johnson, Carter, the two Bushes, and Clinton (and others) It seems to me that Northerners will vote for Southern candidates but Southerners will not vote for Northern presidential candidates. In addition powerful states like Texas get a grip on key congressional committees and never let go. The snake Jesse Helms from No. Carolina was a serious impediment to every progressive act taken up by the Senate.

No
The surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia by General Lee at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, is generally taken as the end of the Confederate States. President Davis was captured at Irwinville, Georgia, on May 10, and the remaining Confederate armies surrendered by June 1865.
Four years after the war, in 1869, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White that secession was unconstitutional and legally null.

That's crap. The treaty was signed at Appomattox Courthouse in 1865. Don't believe everything you read in a Klan pamphlet.

Just to clarify Mussel Gee Dubya was born in Connecticut (look it up) he just likes to pretend he's Texan because he thinks he's a bloody cowboy.

There has been a significant number of preseidents come from southern states. I would have to say, Yes - southern states are still in power. G.H. Bush, Clinton, Gore, Carter, G.W. Bush, even LBJ are all presidents from southern states. (Except Gore, who ALMOST made it.)

Hello,
Practically and technically they are not; in spirit and some social attitudes they are.
Cheers,
