So you agree with the contention that losing at the ballot box is justification for armed rebellion?

Virginia did not seceede until after Lincoln called for volunteers.

Some Virginians stayed with the Union army -- George Thomas and Philip Cooke to name two. Most felt that their duty was to protect their homes and family.

For me, there is honor on both sides... anguished decisions on both sides... men of valor on both sides... men of integrity on both sides...

What intriques me the most about the war are the quality of these men...on both sides.

No... I think we can all agree that you would benefit from a better education on the subject.
