The Confederacy fought against an all powerful Federal government. I know you dont like the idea but its simply a fact.

Yes slavery was wrong but its reallt a moot point considering its would have been done away with before 1900 without a shot fired, much like Brazil.

That doesn’t change the fact that the North fought for a dictorial Federal government that now dictates when & where your children can pray, whether your community supports abortion & soon will force gay marriage on your children.

Now go celebrate that yankee doodle dandy.

I think a point was made earlier regarding the Confederacy itself being an 'all-powerful' form of government.

Easy to claim in retrospect, but you search in vain for someone in 1860 predicting that would be the case. What isn't hard to find is lots of statements by southern leaders saying that the reason they were seceding was because of the threat to slavery posed by Lincoln's election.
