The South should have freed the slaves and then voted to leave the Union.

LOL. That's like saying that John Dillinger should have deposited $20,000 in the bank before he had the shootout with police.

Dillinger was all about robbing banks and the Confederacy was all about preserving slavery.

Hey a new one, comparing the Confederacy to a comon criminal. Usually the old Nazi and Jap empire comparisons happen first. Congrats.

My point being, I think there is an argument to be made for allowing states to leave the Union. Slavery is wicked and evil. But as for leaving the Union, if it’s what the people of the state want, well, like I said, I think there is argument for that. Heck, I wouldn’t mind it if Texas decided to leave. I’d be down there in a heart beat!
