Don't look, but the same thing is happening today, except replace 'enslavement' with 'extermination.' Is abortion the cornerstone of your republic? Patricia Ireland would have no problem proclaiming it to be just as such.
The rebellion was merely a political power grab by the dixie slave elite.
At least your not trying to use the argument that because the outcome was moral, it was inherently legal (hopefully we can just short-circuit that crap right here).
And events proved that as the CSA did not really have the deep popular support that a true popular revolution would have had.
A quarter of military age men died. Think about that stat for a minute before you start spouting about the lack of popular support.
all he does is PARROT the extremist, leftist, REVISIONIST bilge out of the "poison-ivy league" screwls. UNfortunately for him, NOBODY here, with the possible exception of "JSU&TI", is DUMB enough to believe his BILGE.
it must be TOUGH to know that there's only the TWO of them left.

A tribute to the misplaced devotion of the confederate hardcore. But if the whole south rallied to Dixie's call, why did the rebs have to resort to an extremely heavy-handed conscription system? Mighty strange action by the champions of individual liberty. Eventually, most people in the south determined that the establishment of the slaveowners' empire wasn't worth the price of Sherman's tour of GA and SC.
Patricia Ireland is not Vice-President, nor was she there when the U.S. was created. Alexander Stephens was for the confederacy. Who better than he would know what the confederacy was founded on?
