Texas & the rest of the South for that matter

The Moneychanger
VERBATIM POST

On 30 March 1870 Texas became the last Confederate state to be "re-admitted" to the Union. That's odd, because Lincoln's claim all along - what he fought a war for -- was that no state could secede. But if Texas couldn't secede & therefore never had seceded, why did it have to be re-admitted? Beats me, but I'll bet there are a few folks in Texas today who think they made a hasty decision back in 1870.
