Sic Semper Tyrranus. One might also want to re-read John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, in which he asserts the right of the people to rebel.

They also have the right to lose their rebellion when it is started for immoral, illegal, and otherwise bad causes.

As it happens, they did.

I would also, for your edification suggest you read Daniel Webster’s replies to Haynes.

That destroyed for a generation, the pretense of South Carolina to secession or nullification. I laugh to think of how Calhoun, as President of the Senate had to sit and listen to his protege Haynes, be taken down by Webster’s tight prose.
