Only because it succeded.

Another evasion, still no answer though.

Had it failed there would be no national day of independence.

So the "righness" of nationhood is determined entirely on its ability to exercise force? Strange.

Goodness, a little tongue in cheek and you get all bent out of shape!

I'm not quite certain where you keep getting interpretations like that from as I've certainly given no real reason for you to derive them. Nevertheless you do. One minute you're spouting venom, which I casually point out, and the next you're laughing about it while throwing bizarre accusations of irritability at me for simply pointing out your unusual behavior. And once that's all said and done you'll revert right back to spewing venom. You truly are a strange one.

Strange? No, not at all.

If you are going to declare yourself free, you have be able to fight to defend it.

Liberarians think freedom is something you just talk about.

And where is the Confederacy today?

Venom?

A bit of hyperbolic isn't it?

You seem given to the dramatic.

I guess that goes with being full of oneself.

Defensible borders is one of the fundamental attributes of a nation-state. The CSA was never able to maintain control of the territory it claimed, and continued to lose control over those areas they did control for the balance of their failed war for independence.
