Maybe, but I have heard sucession is legal. I don't know, I haven't checked. I don't like how the northeastern liberals have tried to change history and make the war all about slavery.

Ma'am, hold your position! Our ancestors were honourable men and women that legally seceded from what became an intolerable union. Not one of the people claiming that it was illegal can point to a single clause of our Constitution that prohibits secession. The supreme court couldn't, all it could come up with was the dubious reasoning that a 'perpetual union' (that was dissolved) was made 'more perfect' (by reducing the number of members from 13 to 9).

For the south slavery WAS a big part.
