"And don't forget to bring back the old Confederate Constitution while you are at it, you know the one that gives you the right to own Negro slaves."
Please don't tell me, that after I posted a nice comment to you directly, that you would continue to assert that I'm some racist hick.
And as for trying the secession: Why the hell would I try it now? What was done was done. I'm over that part. The part I want cleared up once and for all is that the CSA was not founded on racism. In true Democrat form, it was founded on an opposition to others. (BTW, to seceed, all I need to do is renounce my US citizen-ship. To get my state to do the same, we need to first get all your Yankee butts out of it)
Next thing you'll tell me is that the KKK was founded on racial divides. It WAS a brotherhood. It is NOW racist, evil, and hate-filled.
Consider the comment withdrawn and I apologize for it.

Well, in that we disagree.
The CSA was formed on racism, as noted by Andrew Stephens in his Cornerstone speech.
The CSA writes slavery into its constitution as an explicit right.
The root cause of the move for secession was over the right to expand slavery.
This does not mean every State seceded because of this issue, Virgina was at first against secession but then voted for it when the orders to moblize troops was given.
Slavery, and it's defense, must be seen as being at the heart of the CSA.
It was only at the very end of the war, with defeat in sight, did they consider arming slaves to fight for the CSA in return for their freedom.
And this met with great resistance also.

I think we should leave the issue of the KKK and Reconstruction for another thread!
