I call him and all the other “Confederates In The Attic’’ here Johnny Rebs’’. Actually I sometimes refer to them as “Johnny Reb wannabes’’.

Seems to me our FRiend DiogenesLamp wishes to not just redefine & refight the Civil War, but also the Revolutionary War.
Indeed, the sense I'm getting is that DiogenesLamp is actually a British sympathizer, whose major conceptual achievement is to "grasp" that our Founders' Declaration of Independence should apply to all times and all places anyone for any reason, or for no reasons at all, wishes to declare their independence from whatever authority they're subject to.
I suspect DiogenesLamp thinks that is a great idea for destroying the United States as we know it.

Then his true love, the Brits, could perhaps return to their rightful position atop the world, it seems.

Of course, I too love the Brits, but would not wish to return to our Revolution's ante-bellum.
