You said to the other poster — “You Sir, are an idiot.”

He’s definitely showing his ignorance of the Civil War and has a “romanticized idea” (typical of liberals of today) of what the Civil War was about (like it was about slavery... LOL..).

He doesn’t know that the slavery issue is about as related to the Civil War, as us going to war with Iraq because we believe in Shias over Sunnis... LOL...

We had our own reasons for going to war there, and he had a name of Saddam Hussein...

Some people don’t know about “states rights” issue and don’t even realize that the liberals take away states rights issues (away from the sovereign states of the United States) in order to *consolidate control* in Washington DC, where they figure it’s easier to do (and to control everyone, through the Federal Government).

This is a person who is severely ignorant about what went on before and what is going on today....

Gay marraige and abortion are perfect examples of states rights over federal laws.

Yes the Civil War was about States Rights as Jefferson Davis (Senator - Miss) so eloquently stated in his last speech to the Senate announcing his resignation after Mississippi declared it was seceding from the Union.

Just a little portion of his speech:

Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the states are sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each state is a sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever.
