'You neo-confeds look like blithering idiots when you minimize the fact that the secessionists opened hostilities. "

Gee Wally, if someone breaks thru my window, former best friend or not, I can defend my property. Especially since we had already attempted negotionations which Caeser Lincoln refused.

What's worse is you neo-yankees that bounce from thread to thread to disrupt us. We seek nothing other than to honor, and preserve the honor, of men who did nothing illegal, men who fought to defend the Constitution from those would would pervert it and destroy it.

hmmmm, Article 1 section 10 of the Constitution would seem to be troubling to your thesis...Here, for your reading and commenting pleasure...I'm only putting the 3rd paragraph in as that is the one that seems to have the most bearing on this discussion.

"No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay."

I post this for the constitutional argument only (for the record - you can honor whomever you choose in whatever way you choose) I have no interest in getting into the argument these threads typically devolve into
