I am trying to understand that bully attitude. I do hate that thought.
It's not hard to do, just think about how the average southerner felt every time one of their slaves ran away in the middle of the night with their other properties.....
My ancestors were from Roanoke and had never owned slaves, so I am not relating to that. What I do see could be an attempt at displaying the ugly side of the Federal Boot Licker i.e. somebody who would take one in the backside as long as the implement was shrouded in the Constitution.
What is funny in all of this, is that the neo-yankee actually thinks the current Federal Govt. actually has the stones to do what Lincoln did. If 11 states were to secede, the Federal Govt. would do nothing. Actually, the DU crowd would be the biggest bunch of Copperheads that ever existed. I guess you would have to "preserve" on your own. LOL. How does it feel to have the DU on your side? again LOL.
