"The "malcontents" you refer to happen to believe in limited central govenment and states rights."

Is that what you called Jim Crow? "states rights"

And the "limited central government" bit, spin baby it, spin it, as in "slaves were very close to their masters and vice versa."

You bet your life the slaves were close at the closing of the Civil War, and at the right time, for a little long overdue reciprocity, as the once almighty slavers started heading for the hills in 1864-65, or in the case of Mr. Big, Jeff Davis, he was leaving town for the palm tree lined tropical beaches of Havana, Cuba, which as I recall was still under the control of Spain - Davis was rerouted and no palm trees....eh?

If some so-called "Americans" attempted to overthrow the United States government today through incitement to armed revolution, terrorism and civil chaos - funny that, I always assumed they would be declared "traitors" What's your term?

For those who would live in unquestioning servitude and bow down and lick the hand that feeds them...?

I'd call 'em weinies.
