“Once the South established it’s OWN country”

With what legal basis?

“The South left, peacefully.”

I guess you weren’t at Fort Sumter. April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this Federal fort in Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter surrendered 34 hours later. Union forces would try for nearly four years to take it back.

Ft. Sumter no longer belonged to the United States when South Carolina left the union. On what basis are you claiming that it did? The South laid no claims to any northern property that before the split had been owned by both sides. What gives the north a special right to lay claim to anything that was in the South? The north had it’s own shit yet you think they can have whatever the history books, written by the victors, says they can have. Just like any good liberal, the north could not simply leave the South alone to follow IT’s chosen path.
