Nope. Sorry (not). I’m not a “yankee” but I’m definitely not a confederate. I’m an American. I accept my country as-is, warts and all. Some days I’m just as frustrated with the direction it appears to be headed, but I’m not the type to turn tail and run when things don’t go my way. I don’t have a tantrum when I find myself on the short end of the stick.

And I take the proposition of raising arms against my fellow countrymen seriously and as an absolute LAST resort - not first opportunity.

I’m not sure what you are saying, or what you think I was saying.

I can’t find a rational way to accept you view that the Civil War was a “tantrum”, though.

Those “Confederates” that you try to distance yourself from are your own countrymen. I think that’s what bothers folks like you, that those who would have seceded but failed in doing so have every bit as strong a claim on America as you do.

I’d suggest that you engage in a little humble introspection, such as that great American hero Robert E. Lee would have done.

Yes, be more like Lee, less like the lost person you appear to be in denying a big part the very essence of your legacy that makes us all Americans.
