"I'm from the South (Texas) and prefer the United States flag. People who fly the Confederate Flag seem to me to be the same as those who fly the Mexican Flag."

Lol.....here's a news flash for ya, sweetpea.

The Texas state flag IS a Confederate battle flag.

there is a good way not to get "torqued off".

either do some reading from "other than LEFTIST/REVISIONIST sources" and/or stay away from the WBTS threads.

OR you could tell us all why someone telling the TRUTH about south-HATERS/DAMNyankees and portraying dixie in a positive light "torques you off".

the frank & simple truth is that we southrons are NOT going away AND we don't care if you're "torqued off".

NO true TEXAS LADY would call ANYBODY a "punk".

you must be a TRANSPLANT.

a TEXAS LADY would have made a QUALITY "PUT DOWN" and possibly punched him/her in the nose.

But you still remain confused. Secession occurred when some states realized that whatever the reason, that the protections of the US Constitution were failing them. So they seceded.

They rebelled. Even a half-assed historian such as yourself should know that.

But of course the war began because of the election of the Republicans and Lincoln. I think you will agree that had not LINCOLN been there, there would have been no warships in Charleston.

The war began when the southern forces fired on Sumter. I'm beginning to wonder if you are even an historian at all.

Be more than happy to see your definition, so please provide it.

How about "the isolation by a warring nation of an enemy area (as a harbor) by troops or warships to prevent passage of persons or supplies; broadly : a restrictive measure designed to obstruct the commerce and communications of an unfriendly nation?" Does that work?

While you are at it, why not post your definition of Rebellion.

Sure. Rebellion is open, armed, and usually unsuccessful defiance of or resistance to an established government. I'm surprised that any historian, even an inept one, would have a problem looking that up in a dictionary.

I think it would also be interesting to debate the start of the war........so could you point us to the legal definition of the start of the war please.

Why Goodwad, you're the 'historian'. Why don't you present your legal definition of the start of the war? Isn't that your job? Or don't you know?

You seem to selectively disagree with my historical presentations. Would that be because you are limited in your knowledge or that you have mixed opinions, i.e. you seem to agree with my contention that Lincoln was rushing food to starving soldiers, but you steadfastly want to focus on the concept of slavery and the firing on Ft. Sumter to be the origin of all the evils of the war. Does that sum up your thinking?

Not even close. Now come on. Fess up. Your claim to be an historian is a joke, right? You're pulling our leg?

My *ss is completely intact.

And where you head apparently resides.

"Nah...don't prosecute it as a hate crime. Just publish the names of the the perps, make & model of the cars they drive along w/ the tag number."

Yeah.

Then air-drop them and their vehicle into the right neighborhood in Georgia or Alabama. No questions asked.
What dirtballs.

Freedom of speech is finie with some people as long as they agree with the speech.

By International Law the US Embassy was considered US territory and was illegally seized by the Iranians.

By US Law all those forts, ports, armories, etc seized by the CSA was US territory.

If one party tears up an agreement made with other parties then take back property sold to another party such as the land for Forts without returning the money received then most consider that thief. Did Jeff Davis send a check to Washington covering the loss of such federal property as the Norfolk Naval Yard and various forts, custom houses, armories, etc?

Also most contracts have it written in them on how to legally break the contract. If you read the US Constitution then any disagreement between the States and Federal Government such as I would think Succession would be the deciding authority would be the US Supreme Court.

Since most of the actions of the Southern states up to the formal act of War between the states was prohibited by the US Constitution and every officeholder was required to uphold the supreme law of the Constitution then by not going through the courts and by seizing US property and making confederations, etc your Confederate heroes is as much as outlaws as the students who took over our embassy.
