More like they get tired of wading through a wall of text to find anything relevant to the point.
The declaration of independence says that people have a right to leave. Everything else is just so much obfuscation of the fundamental principle contested by the war; The right to Independence.
I will also point out that I am not a "Johnny Reb". I have never lived in a Southern State, and I have no family that fought in the conflict. We didn't arrive in this country until the early 1900s.
I am a person that learned bit by bit that we have been fundamentally misled by the winners who wrote the history books. Joe and others seem intent on continuing the effort to mislead us. They probably find it painful to contemplate their ancestors having done a very evil thing.
I call you a “Johnny Reb’’ because you obviously are a supporter of the Confederacy.
No, only in the case of an unjust Union, where a long list of grievances is not lawfully addressed, thus making separation "necessary".
Since no such conditions existed in November 1860, any "right to leave" was still superseded by obligations accepted with the US Constitution of 1787.
Yes, we all "get" that you are here to insist on an unlimited "right of separation", but that's just nonsense.
It did not exist in 1776 for our Founders, nor in 1787 with the new Constitution, nor in November 1860 in the US Deep South.
