[DiogenesLamp]

Instead, it's our pro-Confederate Lost Causers who howl from your roof-tops that the Declaration and Constitution granted slavers the unlimited "right" to declare whatever the h*ll they wanted to declare, for whatever reasons, or no-reasons, they wanted and everyone else must, must obey -

Desiring for other people to *LEAVE THEM ALONE* is not dominating others nor forcing them into submission.

All they wanted was for people to *LEAVE THEM ALONE*. Yes, quite unreasonable, and obviously necessitating the invasion of a million men to kill them for their Insolence.

All of that is pure lies and nonsense.

The truth is that Confederates from Day One were highly aggressive expansionists -- invading Union states, stealing Union property wherever and whenever they could.

Sure, they wanted to be "left alone", just as a bank robber wants to be "left alone" with his loot!
