You make some very good and telling points. Every time one of these confederate wannabes whines about how the ACW was about their rights and liberty, I've got to wonder what they, or their philosophical ancestors, must have thought about the 4 million slaves they denied the same rights and liberties. (Not to mention the hundreds of thousands to millions of free persons who they denied the fundamental rights of free speech, freedom of the press, and free association.)

The southern insurrectionist cause wasn't about liberty - it was about privilege, race, and wealth.

Amen!

And for Libertarians to defend it shows that the libertarian is only thinking of rights in the abstract not in reality.

Please we are speaking of the RAT Rebellion or the Slavers' Insurrection. Other names are misleading.
