Everyone seems to miss out a point on the founding of this country, if you look at the Declaration of Independence, the Founding Fathers didn’t want to leave England, just felt that there was no longer any choice. The Declaration of Independence has a long list of the wrongs that the English crown had done to the colonies which became the United States of America. If those colonies had been treated far better, a seperate United States of America may have been long in coming. I challenge anybody to come with a similiar list of wrongs that the Federal government did to the Southern States prior to the Civil War of 1861-1865

Then you haven’t studied history. The northern States routinely made laws in Congress to the detriment of the southern States.
