You are correct—in 1861,like 1776,a dozen or so sovereign states again tried to exit another hostile tyranny and in the process gave birth to an almighty Federal government more than willing to rape murder and burn them back into line.
Don't get me wrong,I'm glad the South lost because of the great country we all love that emerged—well, til now anyway.
It's just the domestic precedent of the big all powerful central government the damn Yankees invented to destroy the Southern patriot that many of us can't forgive.

You're only glad because you know without the South the USA would be the USSA by now.
