Should the Confederacy be set free?

Question

The civil war truly was an illegal war. The South had every right to leave the United States. Yet depressed drug addict Abraham Lincoln started a war to try to bully the south around.
It was more than just slavery, the northern government was way too opprsesive. And it is getting worse nowadays.
Just asking but should the Confederacy try to reseperate from America today? Obviously no war will happen since this is 2007, but now that the south is free to leave-- should they?

my ancestors fought for the north but this is my opinion on the civil war.

Answer 1

by all means.

Answer 2

Not free to leave. Still oppressed the voting rights act only applies to southern states.

The loss of states rights meant that the people, as citizens of their respective states, would no longer be sovereign; the federal government would be. The federal government became the master, rather than the servant of the people. Military conscription and income tax are the evidence.

"The death of states rights ultimately meant that Americans were forced to effectively give up the idea of government by consent. In its place the idea that citizens owe obedience to the central state."

The citizens of the Northern States lost the same thing. The square head Yankees are just too stupid to realize they lost as much during the civil war as the south.

Answer 3

as long as Texas doesn't go with the rest of the south, Florida wouldn't want to go either. A few parts of Georgia can stay, as for the rest of the South, they should leave.

Answer 4

I live in Tennessee, and I swear that there are lots of people here who still want to separate from the US. If they did that I would leave and go back to my home state (and nobody here would miss me I'm sure).
