Whatever happened over 150 years ago during the Civil War is irrelevant for today. I doubt that the federal government of today that has shown itself to be incapable and unwilling to suppress over a year of murder and mayhem in American cities would have the stomach for killing hundreds of thousands of citizens who simply refuse to comply with illegitimate edicts issued by an illegitimate tyrannical junta. In any event, the only way to recover our stolen liberty and freedom is state-by-state nullification, non-compliance,and secession (not “succession” as you wrote). My bet, though, is that your beloved GOPee will very likely continue to align itself with the illegitimate tyrannical junta rather than the people who want their freedom and liberty restored. It would be fully in keeping with their quisling traitor natures. GOPee Delenda Est!
