Bruxly, please explain to me any major differences in the seccissions of 1776 and 1861. Really, I'd like to know if there are any. Somehow some people can look at the actions of 13 states in 1776 as good and noble, but the actions of 11 states in 1861 were criminal and needed to be stopped. Please explain.
Perhaps, unless you consider Lincoln drafting citizens to fight his war. Being forced away from your home to face cannon and rifle fire is not freedom. You're a victim of a despot whether you are being forced to pick his cotton or fight his unjust wars.
The people that believe(d) they had a RIGHT to hold people in slavery are far more despotic then Lincoln.
