“Which is the unspoken challenge behind all slavery and the motivation behind every rebellion. And would you deny the truth of it? Do slaves have a natural right to rise up and rebel?”

I would not deny that slaves have the natural right to rise up and rebel.

“That’s easy. It’s because you don’t feel strongly enough about your position to do what would have to be done to insure it. “

No its cause:

1: I have no desire to see millions of northerns killed, when the example should be enough to teach northerns that the costs and risk of forcing your union upon others is not worth it.

2: Why would we launch an attack to defend our independents when we have yet to redeclare that independence? More importantly why would we tell you about what we are doing before its too late for you to do anything about it?

Spoken just like someone who knows he's about to do something wrong.

Good. Now would you say that slaves had a legal or constitutional right to rise up and rebel? Did their masters have a legal and constitutional right to suppress their rebellion?

No its cause...

All of which adds up to the same thing, that you haven't done anything because you lack the motivation. In other words, for all the southron talk about intolerable oppression, your situation isn't really that intolerable because here you are tolerating it.

2: Why would we launch an attack to defend our independents when we have yet to redeclare that independence?

Interesting. Do rebellions only have legitimacy after a formal declaration of independence is made?
