Paraphrasing Justice Stewart, I may not be an expert at painfully stupid acts and ideas - but I know them when I see DiogenesLamp commit them.

The Southern States had a right to leave, and the Northern states had no right to invade and oppress them.

You're half right. The southern states did (and do) have a right to leave. But not the way they attempted. I realize that you will never get this through your thick skull but this fact has been settled - the disagreement came to blows and one war and a couple of SCOTUS decisions later it is confirmed - unilateral secession is expressly illegal.

The Northern States successfully made slaves of the Southern ones.

Poppycock. Another idiotically hyperbolic and foolish comment. Why am I not surprised?

You see, it's okay because the whip is in his hand.

You must be in a lot of anguish because I heard that stupid is painful. In order to accept the viability of such an ignorant statement one would have to believe that 1) I wield some sort of physical or metaphoric whip that I use against others (damn - wouldn't that come in handy!), and 2) that I would be indifferent to its employment against family and friends who live in the south. Hold on a tick -I'll ask them.......nope, they said no whips, no chains. BTW: They asked me why I'm wasting my time on an imbecile and I told them because it amuses me.

Oh, I see some other painfully stupid posts from DiogenesLamp - I had best read them before I refill my coffee cup ;')

Not much of a response, but then I didn’t expect much anyway.
