The question is more interesting when you strip out the whole slavery issue. Beyond that, I await eagerly to read the documentary support for the right to secede at will. So far no one has made that case, just lots of bloviating.
Slavery is a dodge to prevent discussion of the real issue of the civil war.
If you ever talk about the civil war, and someone wants to divert into slavery, this is just a tactic to prevent a discussion on the issue of self determination.
People are now like trained seals and cannot help themselves anytime the subject of the civil war is brought up. They cannot think beyond the propaganda we have all been taught growing up.
Beyond that, I await eagerly to read the documentary support for the right to secede at will. So far no one has made that case, just lots of bloviating.
You must be reading different areas of the internet than me. So far i've seen a lot of evidence to support the idea that people have a right to independence, beginning with the Declaration of Independence, and I see very little in support of the contrary idea.
