"Arkansas seceded due to Lincoln's demand for troops.
It had nothing to with a belief that the South would collapse in the absence of slavery.
Arkansas rejected the notion that the Federal government had the authority to use force to coerce the seceded states back into the Union." Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas all seceded after the Confederacy declared war on the United States, May 6, 1861.
They wanted war. They chose war. They got war.
They should be happy.

So, when the majority of the population elected Obama, are you saying that we wanted socialism, chose socialism and got socialism so we should be happy?
After all, we as a nation, chose to do this.
