but the south was right.

So these guys keep saying.

When you point out, that the DOI lays out far greater injuries, they say the DOI is not a ruling Document, the Constitution is.

When you point out that the Constitution prohibits the States from Seceding, They say, The Constitution doesn't apply because the States seceded.

So in extraordinary circumstances, you have the Battlefield, and I guess all of the Baghdad Bobs still fighting this conflict, will say that doesn't matter either...

Just open your wallet, take out a 5, and tell me what you see.

The purpose of reassessing the War of Secession is to debunk the anti-Christian 'might makes right' axiom or the Prussian 'war is an extension of politics' for the millions of indoctrinated disciples of government schools and government history books.


By demystifying/destigmatizing the cause of the South, we see secession as a cure for what ails us, so that our off-spring might know the ideal of liberty and provide the institutions that can be passed down to our heirs.

The interesting thing is that prior to the War of Northern Agression it was a common belief that a state had the right to succeed from the Union. Mass. threatened this action around 1832 over some perceived injustice.

Their were a number of injustices in addition to slavery that had the south upset. One of the major ones was tariffs on finished goods that hampered the south from trading with Europe.These abuses continued into the 1940's (the victors write the laws as well as the history)
