The Missouri delegation, that your racist, dumb-fuck Yankee ass is so lamely trying to dismiss, was comprised of men 'elected' by the citizens of Missouri, you racist, dumb-fuck Yankee jackass. It was considerably more 'legitimate' than the 'Provisional' government established by the Unionist usurpers riding on the coat-tails of a Union general from Connecticut who ran the elected governor and the legislators out of the capitol at the point of a bayonet.

Keep desperately beating the dead horses, tranny fucker.
The Missouri ordinance has no more legal weight than a Texas Tea Party ordinance of session (although you would think that was legal).
And the Arkansas ordinance references slavery referendums that were voted on.
You cannot find a Confederate state that voted to secede only for reasons unrelated to slavery.
EVERY LAST ONE of the Confederate states was aggrieved over the pending end of slavery. Demographics were not on their side.
Just like demographics are not on the side of middle-aged white rednecks like you. It is ALL down hill from here.
And the "agrarian" interest that Jefferson Davis was trying to protect was slave-based agriculture. Or are you too stupid to realize that? OF COURSE the north was trying to restrict the Southern economy, shit head. They were trying to end slavery. That is NOT an economic reason apart from slavery. That IS a slavery reason.
