And Virginia DOES belong to America when Bobby Lee threw in the towel at Appomattox.

Only because the Confederate gov't couldn't get their act together and supply his troops......never let someone from Lousiana be in charge of supply during a crisis.....

Supply chain management, the bane of any large venture, be they corporations or confederations. *sigh*

This same polticial view was asserted on another thread, and I thought we learned then that the US Constitution is a compact between the States. It does not frame one big State where Virginia belongs to Americans ... that is a vision of national government, but the US Constitution frames a government with a federal foundation. When Lee surrendered, the US Constitution still framed a limited federal government.
