Yes. Someone with a better grasp of both history and the English language.

“With what pretense of fairness, is is said, can you Americans object to the secession of the Southern States when your nation was founded on secession from the British Empire?” - Cornhill Magazine, “The Dissolution of the Union,” 1861.

“And don’t call me son, I’m not your son.”

This is why I think you have trouble with American English. In this context, I was being condescending.

That is nothing but Brit anti-American propaganda. (The Brits used to be the best at that.)

The Founders did not call themselves "secessionists". They never for a moment pretended that what they did was legal under British law.

They proudly called themselves Revolutionaries, and they were fully prepared to pay the legal price of Revolution.

They played no legalistic games to obscure their treason from the Crown.

I suppose that would be true if you are talking about backwoods racist redneck inbred uneducated American English suitable for banjo lyrics.
