No, I’m not asserting that about the Civil War, per se (though I’m far more ambivalent about the morality involved and the resulting damage than you appear to be). Rather, I referred to what appears to me to be the attitude in the federal government and among liberals in general that Constitutional patriots are the enemy and the danger, and those who FReepers would consider such are actually misunderstood and to be coddled and mollified.
I am certain that there are those in and out of government to whom the Constitution is a danger, and adherence to the Constitution is a threat.
They should be educated, and if they work for the government, fired.
