You acknowledged that a free people have the right to peacefully separate from a government, yet you state that you would fight against those free people if they attempted to separate from a government.
What do you have against freedom?
IMHO the best hope for freedom has been an intact United States of America (I'm sure you disagree).
and...
These people actually drew up a Constitution specifically designed to hold more than three million people in chains, not merely stealing their lifelong freedom and the fruits of their labor, but also their rights to association, marriage and even the custody of their own children. Goes without saying too that the women and girls (and heck, prob'ly boys to in some cases) in many cases were subject to actual or defacto rape at the whim or not of their captors (AKA "owners").
Slavery was an abomination and a curse, once it was a given that the shooting had commenced, that alone would be reason enough for taking up a gun on the Union side. I damn sure could never fire a shot in defense of the Confederate Constitution.
..and if all that ain't enough, chattel slavery was the absolute antipathy to Libertarianism
