The South was following the Constitution you smug bastard. There were no communists in the South. The US Constitution is silent on the subject of secession and before the civil war slavery, that peculiar institution, was Constitutional.

Slavery is communism. Your forefathers were communists and we stopped you in your commie tracks.

As I said. You’re welcome.

I agree with you that the Southern states had every right to secede.

The slaves also had a God-given right to overthrow their "masters", by force if necessary. No human being has a right to own another regardless of what any constitution may say and I hope that had I lived at that time I would have helped the slaves to revolt.
