secession was LAWFUL. no less than the Chief Justice (AND a majority of the associate justices as well)of the USSC said so in 1866; that's why NO southron leader was tried for treason OR any other crime.

Nope. I like the South and took my vacation there for 7 days last year. Atlanta, Charlotte, and South Carolina. Got along with everyone great, met a babe from Hickory NC, a fun trip. I didn't meet anyone who told me to go home or anything like the way you and your friends would, whom I'm convinced are in the minority of opinion in the South.
...to re-phrase an old piece of wisdom, there is none blinder than he who won't see the plain truth.
Here's one I just made up: There's none blinder than one who ignores a big portion of the truth.
secession was LAWFUL.
Not the way the South did it according to the Constitution and the Supreme Court and they're the deciding authority.

You were doing OK until you attacked Fort Sumter. Bad Mistake. Although you would've been brought back anyway for just up and leaving in a reneging kind of way. Next time do it proper, let the Congress and the Supreme Court set the terms for your departure and there won't be so much strife. I'm sure they'll give you a fair shake. It's better than the way you tried in 1861. You were screwed for 100+ years because of that.
