I guess that depends on what you believe in. My ancestors came from Missouri and one of them even ran slaves to freedom. I however, believe in the right of a state to determine its own internal affairs without interference from the Feds. I believe in the right of self-determination as our Founders saw it. And I believe I would've fought for the South based on those two beliefs alone. It isn't about slavery and racism, its about freedom.
P.S. You don't know much about Missouri State history do you? Do ya think that Jesse James, Frank James, Capt. William Clarke Quantrill, Bloody Bill Anderson, Cole Younger and Bob Younger considered themselves to be Yankees?
That is the equivalent of proudly stating that because you believe in the freedom and right to self-determination of the head of the household, you would refuse to report and in fact fight police intervention against a husband who repeatedly beats and rapes his wife and molests his children in the sanctity of his own home. Gee, how noble.
Another blowhard "Southron" wrapping himself in a rebel flag of kooky nonsense, like children dressing up in Star Wars outfits. Oh what a 'gentleman' patriot you are. BTW, I'm a native Texan whose ancestors came here after surviving Sherman's march to the sea, so the 'Yankee' copout won't work.
