For all those around the world who would secede from a tyrannical government, please heed the words of Robert Toombs. Do not fall into the trap of war. Secede firmly, quietly, and peacefully.

Better to heed the words of Thomas Jefferson:

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Perhaps you can lay out a the long train of abuses before 1860 that would parallel the one that Jefferson refers to.

I'm suprised.....you're using the words of a slave owning and allegedly misegenating slave owner at that to bolster your daily crusade about the evils of the South.

Amusing.....not that I care a whole lot about what they do out in tree hugger land....they outta give Spokane and all the lands east of the Casacades to Idaho anyhow. Eastern Washington State should secede and now!!!!!!
