All this article and subsequent responses from some on here shows, is that the Yankee version of history still sucks as bad as it did years ago. It definitely proves that nobody knows about how the US government was set up, nor do they care to dig into history enough to find out. It can be used as a measuring stick or thermometer to find out how lukewarm most Americans are about finding out what actually happened. Most of these clowns think that once the States ratified the Constitution they were bound to it forever and signed away all their right of self-determination to the Federal Government. I'll bet Jefferson and Madison are spinning in their graves! If Americans would bother to research it, they would find out that it was quite the opposite. But then that would show that their "Saint" Lincoln had feet of clay wouldn't it?!
In a way I am glad there are still many ignorant Yankees out there, it makes me that much more proud of my Southern ancestry standing up to government tyranny.
