Chalk me down as being a fiercely pro-Confederate libertarian. The War Between the States was actually our second American Revolution, fought to protect the America of our Founding Fathers. But sadly, the bad guys won; and now we desperately need a third revolution to get out from under the era of federal tyranny ushered forth by that worst president of them all - Lincoln.

Secession was an attempt to protect and extend the most egregious violation of liberty in American history. I find it bizarre that someone claiming to be libertarian could support it.

Unless of course black slaves aren’t “really” people with rights like other people, as was determined by the Dred Scott decision.
