by blockading the south and embargoing them, the united states has backhandedly recognized them as an independent state

a feeling of electricity enters the border regions as troops begin to silently mobilize

nah, you aren't recognizing a crazy guy with a gun in a house as an independent state by having the house surrounded

[Ad Bot]

[Jairo]

blockading them is completely valid

embargoing them means you're recognizing their sovereignty

an official ban on trade or other commercial activity with a particular country.

[Juncoph]

forget

by embargoing i meant a total blockade, though

nothing goes in, nothing goes out

the union does not recognize the south as an independent state

[Jairo]

well texas embargoed them too, so I can't really have the embargo completely rescinded

[TristanLuigi]

tbh you're basing this on pedantry
they used the word "embargo," sure, but using that as a basis for recognition is just being really technical
it's very clear what they meant

well they already used blockade to refer to actively restricting the flow of goods to and from a specific location/nation

by saying embargo, they've effectively ceased trade relations between them and another entity, in this case, the confederate states

they're two different words and they have two different definitions for a reason

[Harm94]

what the forget why
we're trade partners ;(

We trade have limited trade, food stuff. The power of the citrus is strong I hear.

[Maxwell.]

preach it (or in this case peach it)

i can make citrus too, the mediterranean climate is perfect
and i'm a lot closer

drive and run have different definitions for a reason but when someone says they'll run to the store you don't assume they'll go there by foot

[Ragequit]

forget undoing that rn

[Jairo]

uh yes I do

maybe it's because of where I live, but that's literally what I assume

[Maxwell.]

no they won't taste good don't do that

[TristanLuigi]

uh yes I do

what?
"hey i'm going to run to the store to pick up some ice"
i'm not going to be shocked when i hear the garage open

doesn't matter they both undid the embargo for a blockade
i'm just saying taking stuff literally like that is more annoying than anything

you do realize that I'm interpreting things in a completely political, legal context, right? it's my job to nitpick the words people use because of the discrepancies in meaning

also gonna invoke rule 16 here

forget undoing that rn

independence voided

confederate states are still looking for a sponsor
