Some of the Southern crew make some reasonable conclusions regarding the reasons for and historic facts post CW....And their view on secession as compared to the American Revolution are valid..
However, the States Right they were defending was the right to have slaves....Some one mentioned it was a "legal" right.....another that we should remember that only 2% or so of Southerners owned slaves....Well if one of yours sold you into another country where slavery was legal and unfortunately for you, you were one of the 2% what would be your opinion on the legality of your situation?????
Today Lee is looked upon as all that was great about the South back in the day. He is the poster boy for the cause....He had some slaves, but thought the practice in an of itself was wrong, but history tells us he did allow some of his to be whipped if they desired to free themself from the law of slavery...Well let's place old Robert in modern times for a moment. His home State is California; and Maxine, Nancy and the the crew want out because Trump won again, so they vote to withdraw from the Union. Now while most of us would gladly send them on their way, Washington decides they are not in favor of the idea, what with the ocean.food and computer chips. So it comes to killing....Now Robert just can't fire against against his fellow citizens, but he can against other Americans and becomes the military genius of California's war with America....After California goes down should Robert be considered a hero????
Maxine and Nancy being a given....
