Amen brother!
It's interesting how that whole 10th amendment thingy just vaporized in the aftermath of the civil war.
The wrong side won the civil war.

Yes. Unfortunately we'll all either end up as slaves or fight the war over again until we get it right.
Don't concede the Unionist position by calling the War Between the States a "Civil War." By calling it a "Civil War" you presuppose the conflict to have been an internal struggle between one people bound together in a single indivisible nation. But in a very real sense the proposition that the United States were one nation indivisible was the fundamental issue in dispute between the parties.
Referring to the conflict as the "War Between the States" is a relatively neutral way to describe accurately the conflict. If you want to give the unionists a taste of their own medicine refer to the conflict as the "War of Northern Aggression" or the "War for Southern Independence." These monikers are the Southern equivalents of calling the conflict the "Civil War."
It is a measure of how deeply the unionist view has permeated the culture that any reference to the conflict other than the "Civil War" is now considered strange and confusing even in the South. But this only reflects the fact that history is written by the victors.
Again, in a very real sense, the assault by the PC left on Southern history is just the modern day incarnation of Reconstruction.
