Of course you would be wrong, unless you don't support the US Constitution...

The rights of states to act of their own accord in matters that are of the best interests of their citizens was why the United States was built as a federal republic, and why the word “states” is in our nations name.

Sadly we have forgotten that, and an all powerful federal entity has risen from it. Conservatives, like the founders as well as the union leaders who DID NOT hang the confederate officers, appreciated the idea.

You may too in the near future given where we are headed.

Amen!

Lincoln on Secession:

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and to form one that suits them better. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may make their own of such territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolutionize, putting down a minority intermingling with or near them who oppose their movement.
