I happily argue the Confederate position and I believe I have the Constitution on my side. We have the right to dissolve a government that no longer serves us and reform it in a way that meets our satisfaction. That is the point of Charlie Reese’s argument. He is correct.

A profound statement! I wish this would ring loud through out the country, and fall upon silenced ears & minds!

Ping!

You have a right to try. But as the South found out, you have no guarantee of success. Then or now.

Did the Southern slaves have the right to reform a society based on slavery? I don't think the Confederate "champions of liberty" thought so. The same secessionist leaders who whined about the "oppression" of the Union had no moral problem with treating a whole race of people as potential property. This moral contradiction is just one of the reasons that the rebellion was illegitimate and doomed to failure.
