Might makes right......
I have always stated that I consider the south method of secession to be unsound and stupid but I have also said they had a right to secede, they just did it wrong.
Right does make might as well, if you cause is just and your goals are admirable the support you will need will be there.
In the end the south couldn’t even buy the support they needed to win because of the issue of slavery.
Defending the indefensible is stupid, but don’t let that slow you down....
