The south was right but I am glad we lost. Anybody who reads the
articles of secession of the various states has to realize that the
Confederacy WAS fighting to preserve slavery. However, anybody who
reads statements by Lincoln, Grant, and other northern leaders will
realize the north WAS NOT fighting against slavery but simply to
preserve the southern cash cow for taxation. Thus, both sides had the
basest of motives.
The south was legally right in being able to secede but we should all
be glad the south lost because it led to the end of slavery.
The issue of the CSA flag is another matter.

A pragmatic and proud southerner.


Where in the constitution does it describe how one can secede from the
United States of America?
