"A question solved by violence must remain unsolved forever." - Jefferson Davis

By that quote of Mr. Davis, the issue of American independence from the mother country is still unsolved. And had the CSA won separation on the battlefield that would be unsolved forever also. But both issues were solved and the final verdict is in. God rules in the kingdoms of men. (Daniel 4:25) He decided the verdict in 1865. I'll not question anyone honoring their individual Confederate ancestors or the majority of Confederate flag wavers who revere the rebel flag as a symbol of heritage and not hate. But there's no point in expending worry in trying to justify an overall movement that was rejected by the God of history in 1865. DEO VINDICE.

If there is ever a secession question again it will be decided upon new issues, not the divisions of the 1860s. Despite superficial differences, the true fault line is not now North-South, but rather Urban-Heartland or Coastal-Midland.
