If my state voted legally to leave the union, and declared it's independence, AND the federal government tried to coerce it back thru force, AND if my state called upon me to defend it's rights.....YES, I would fight. Like Robert E. Lee, my highest duty is to my home FIRST. And my home is TEXAS. Now....would I agonize over such a decision. YES.....I love my country. But I love my home more.

If my state voted legally to leave the unionWhich, of course, was the entire issue. At least 2 out of 3 American voters in 1861 did not believe it was possible for a state to legally secede. It is, of course, interesting that there was no attempt made to address the issue via legal terms by the secessionists.
