Nevertheless, in retrospect, we can clearly see that the north was the invader. The south was the insurgent. The United States Army could not invade itself. They have the right, duty and sworn obligation to go anywhere in this nation to put down an armed insurrection.

Can you show me the law where it says a State that joined the Union voluntarily cannot also leave voluntarily? I don't think so. If you can't do that, you can't legally call it an insurrection.

I might add that most southerners clearly saw the north as invaders and fought to protect their homes - quite fiercely I might add. I love that quote from Jackson on Henry Hill when Bernard Bee said his lines were broken and asked waht Jackson intended to do. He replied, "Kill them all, Sir." That is what you do to an invader - kill them.
