Destroying a nation and simply walking away from it are two different things. The south did not threaten to destroy the North. They simply were exercising their right to leave. We call ourselves the Untied States(Plural) of America in that we recognize that we are a union of sovereign states. These states can leave if they so will.It was never the intention of the Constitution to abrogate home rule.Slavery was morally wrong but the war to eliminate it was a greater wrong. I believe in States Rights.

To rationally study the illustration, we should move to source documentation (posted on FR): A Confederate Soldier in Egypt (Long Read)
