Yeah, and when you hear twenty-first century "secessionists" talk about suffering from the tyranny of a large central government, remind them that the Southern states were first in line to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment authorizing our income tax:

Alabama was the very first state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Kentucky was the second state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

South Carolina was the third state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Mississippi was the fifth state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Okalahoma was the sixth state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Maryland was the seventh state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Georgia was the eighth state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Texas was the ninth state to ratify the Sixteenth Amendment.

Unfortunately, the South has always been first in line to protect the State. Personal liberty - not so much.

Sherman didn’t start an insurrection. He did help put one down.
