Truly idiotic article. Does it refer to whether people think the CSA was right? Or are they talking about a theoretical future CSA, presumably consisting of the same states?
While I’m not a fan of the historical CSA, I might support a future one, depending entirely on the circumstances of secession and what the alternatives were.
Must be a good sign Thad is going to lose the legal challenge. Already trying to CYA and trash MS as cover fire.
I thought the same thing. Depends on how the question was framed. I would not support States rights to stay in the union and be able to enslave people. I would however support the ability of a state to leave and form their own separate country ... thus I would support the CSA ability to secede.
I would not live in a state that supported slavery. Thus if I lived in Mississippi and the choice was stay in the union/abolish slavery or leave the union & keep slavery I would vote for the former. This is all in the context of the 1860 debate.
Today’s situation is different. I believe every state should have the right to secede and form their own country and I’m ready to do that now if it could be done peacefully.
