Hadn’t noticed the North a rapin’ ‘n’ a pilagin’ pre-1861.
What if your state seceeded today over arguments about taxes, representation and etc. Would you think it OK for the federal government to send tanks into your state and carpet bomb your cities and to rape yoru women and burn your towns and steal everything of value from your home? Would that be OK?
Do you support government of the people, by the people and for the people or not? Do you support the principles in the declaration of Independence that states that governments receive their just powers only from the consent of the governed? And that people have the right to rid themselves of government that becomes destructive of a people's rights to life, liberty, happiness and etc.?
If you do not support these rights, you kinds sound like a liberal.
