Secession was about slavery, period. The “states rights” meme was what the democrat aristocrats sold to the non-slave holding population to get them to fight for them. Many of the southern troops came to realize and referred to the war as a “rich man’s war, poor man’s fight”, and they were right.

Maybe you should listen to your hero and take his advice:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

The only foolishness I’ve found here are the confederate supporters who haven’t figured out that their side lost 148 years ago, that they seemingly still support slavery and the democrat ideals that led to the foolish war that they started by secession and firing on Sumpter.

It was a lost cause then boys, it’s a lost cause 148 years later. Why would anyone with that mindset call themselves patriots and supporters of the Constitution while still obsessing on the last major democrat attempt to destroy that Constitution?
