Secession is a peaceful act, and the feds will shoot us in the back for attempting it and decry US as the violent ones.

The State is an institution that has its every action fundamentally rooted in violence, yet it will accuse those who resist its aggression as behaving violently.

That is true...the Confederacy shot first at Fort Sumpter and that did not end well for them.

And remember -- Fort Sumter was just the last event in a long chain of abuses. The federal troops were diligent in trying to resolve the situation peacefully, and they were even in talks with congress about how to handle the secession when it happened.

I think it's very telling that Abraham Lincoln and republican leaders in congress proposed amending the constitution to protect slavery in the South forever and ever. They wanted to give the South everything they wanted, but the South was belligerent and simply wanted to fight a war.

No, I think the South wanted to have their own country.
