I believe that the ability for a state to leave The Union was a right. An inalienable right that The North sought to destroy, and a right that the farmers of the south were willing to take up arms to defend.

And look at what we have today: Our nation is trillions of dollars in an ever-climbing debt, our culture is going to hell in a hand basket, and our politicians are literally mocked around the world for being the most dishonest liars ever.

The Confederacy had a chance to break free from that. To forge its own destiny, to start a better nation. But Lincoln decided that if America burned, the south would go down with us.

Would America have survived as two nations? Would they have grown weak and been conquered by Britain or France? Or would the divided land have made things more manageable, and allowed both nations to prosper far more then we see today?

To these questions, we will never have answers. But The South wanted to take a shot at it, to leave The Union and build a new nation. The Confederacy banded together, willing to sacrifice their homes, families, and even their lives for liberty and freedom from the north.

The Confederate flag may have been misused by the KKK over the years, but that's sure as hell not what it represents. It represents a band of people that were willing to pay the ultimate price for their freedom, and in the end, did. That is why my profile picture remains as it is.

I will make no further comments on the matter
