Big win for us in the Supreme Court

After the war, Davis also received substantial financial support from Judah Benjamin. This guy was a close friend of Davis and held several different cabinet appointments. After the war he fled to England and arrived there flat broke. Within a year he was the wealthiest lawyer in the country and legal advisor to Queen Victoria. To the very end he remained a racist and secessionist.

didn't States have the right to succeed from the Union at that time?

Regardless, a war was fought about it by both sides and the union won..It's all history now or it should be....

You would think so, but the Supreme Court decreed otherwise in Texas vs. White. States cannot unilaterally secede.

Our local Catholic high school's tuition is expensive, but the kids get a well rounded education more so than public schools. AND, it keeps the riftraft out as well as the welfare humanoids.

My grand daughters are in Catholic schools -- which are head and shoulders above the local public schools.

You can make a point that the purpose of Public Education is to educate the children, not to bolster the NEA, and the money should follow the child, no matter where the child goes to school.

But I would never recommend Catholic schools take public money -- who takes the King's shilling is the King's man.
