If a person wants their state to secede from the USA, that is not the same thing as asking for war. Actually it is the opposite. The act of secession is war neutral, the re-action to it may or may not cause war/violence, but secession by itself does not. I may want my state to get out of the USA peacefully. but if the Feds start something what are we supposed to do?

This story is a red herring.

The mistake Jeff Davis and Co. made was to allow themselves to be goaded into firing on Ft. Sumter.

I try to think of it like a divorce. We joined together in this union, but you became to oppressive, so we are leaving. You can keep the dependents, I wont even fight you for them, I just want out. Maybe after the divorce, we can be friends.
