Now, I have watched thread after thread be filled with the same arguments, the same name calling, the same accusations...but say what you want... Mr. Franklin is right

Perhaps. If the Founding Fathers had lost their rebellion we might be learning about the traitorous rebels of 1776 in our history books. And had the South won their rebellion then all the Southern kiddies would be reading about their revolutionary heroes.

But the major difference in all these discussions is that the Founding Father's labored under no misconceptions. They knew their actions were illegal, they knew they would have to fight for their independence, and they didn't complain about King George fighting back. All y'all, on the other hand, insist on trying to coat the southern actions with a veil of legality it doesn't deserve and paint the Union as the aggressor. Well, that's just wrong. Our rebellion, their rebellion, it was still a rebellion. And the Lincoln Administration was right in opposing it. And in the end the Founding Father's won their rebellion and the rebel government lost their's.
