I thought the standard narrative was:
1. The South didn’t like the elected President.
2. The South pretended unilateral secession, a power not belonging to the states to mask their insurrection.
3. The Southern rebels began a war on the United States.
4. The South lost.

4. The South lost.

The key to understanding your post is #4: The South Lost. (I know you didn’t read the article by the way.) Might makes right? Are you therefore against all rebellion? Are you anti-Washington (George)? You speak of power, but what you really argue against is self-determination. To hate Southern rebels sways into hypocrisy if you support the original rebellion my friend.

The south wouldn't lose again. You couldn't find enough military recruits in New York, LA, Chicago, Tampa, Miami, etc. (where all the Democrat Populace is) to enlist or even be conscripted....we'd kick their ass. It wouldn't be a NORTH/SOUTH thing either. More like an American/Heathen thing.....
