With the cancel culture in full force, how much of this can we stand without some kind of retaliation?
Removing Robert E Lee memorials, changing military base names, etc.
My question is; do you believe the rebellion of states in 1861 was secession, similar to and comparable to our secession from Britain in 1776 or an act of treason against our country? Succession or Treason?

The Left doesn't want to go to Utopia and leave the rest of us alone.
They want to change the whole country.
They want to eliminate conservatism and conservatives.
They want to control every facet of your life. And you are not allowed to disagree or resist. You are only allowed to conform.
They want what you have, and if that means over your dead body, that is fine with the Left. In fact they prefer it.
Liberalism. Socialism. Globalism. Communism. All cats of the same litter.
It's beyond treason. It is a hostile take over of your country and your freedoms and liberty.

Secession.... not treason. Nothing in the constitution says states can't leave the union. A civil war is when two factions fight for control of a single government..... that's not what happened. My grandmother called it "the war of northern agression."

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

It is time to break the country into manageable pieces. And we need a mass translocation of population similar to what India and Pakistan did when they partitioned. I'll be glad to sell out and move to Wyoming, Idaho, or Montana. Let them enjoy New Rwanda in the southeast. After we build a wall and first evacuate our military weaponry.

They want everyone to live as they see fit and do as they say with no exceptions. They have no room for diversity if it doesn’t think just like them. Diversity to them is a lesbian that thinks just like them, a Muslim as long at it thinks just like them, a black that thinks just like them, a transgender as long as it thinks just like them. No real diversity at all just do as I say and think what I think virtue signaling communism.

Keep the sea ports or you loose, no land locked country is a major power! Those three states listed could be isolated and starved easily!

Irony? No irony at all. He resigned his commission and fought to defend his country.

One side or the other being dead is the only language they are going to understand. Unfortunately for them.

IMO, it would have been treason as well as a true civil war had the goal been to take over the U.S. government. That was not the case. The populations of the "free and independent" states of the time voted to secede and form their own country.
It was a failed revolution but the confederates were no more traitors than the so called founding fathers. Only difference is that they lost their war. If Lee was a traitor so was George Washington and the gang.

It doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s the history of our country. No ideology, movement, or political party can erase or change it. Period.

As it stands now under our system of governing the good people of rural California and here in rural north Louisiana and a bunch of other states are over ruled by the urban areas. No way we can continue to be ruled by people that hate us. Time for separation and enforceable borders. Drastic but necessary.

A few miles north of the cesspool that is Atlanta, Georgia are small towns that make you think of Mayberry. Or at least there were several years ago when I used to have to go up there for work all the time. I know that its like that in New York too. I've never been there but I am smart enough to read county electoral maps on the internet to see what is going on. You guys are overwhelmed by Manhattan and I fear we will be overwhelmed by Atlanta any day now........unless they burn it down of course.

Ya kinda left out the part about the months long war that ensued and the millions killed, as a result of the "partition".
