No they didn't. They believed in their right as a state to have slavery and felt they had the right to secede and do what they wish. If there was another issue they disagreed with the North about there would have been the same result. It was all about states rights.
A lot more northern guys died than southern guys by the way, if we want to talk about whipped who. The south just ran out of bullets and men.
If the damned yankees elect obama again we ought to try leabing again. Northerners now sure don’t have the stomach for stopping it.
Do you believe today that the Bill of Rights supercedes any state’s rights?
