Really, it says that secession is a right!

No it doesn't, you are just reading that into it!

You such a kidder!

LOL!

No government ever gave a right to secede at will, it would be anarchy, not a government.

A minority's rights have to be protected, but likewise, they have to accede to the will of the majority.

That is what we are seeing being played out by the obstruction of the Democrats in the Senate now.

If losing an election could lead to secession, we would have no stablity at all.

Revolution is the final appeal to abuse by a government not adhereing to its responsiblities to protect all its citizens.

Now, if you think the South had a right to revolt, let's hear the abuses they were suffering under.

They sure couldn't be worse then the abuse of the millions of slaves they held in bondage.
