Those who favor secession are acting like Americans. Our American ancestors seceded from England. They had to fight their way through it and they won. The Confederate States acted like America's forefathers by fighting for independence for a second time. Unfortunately, Lincoln didn't want to let go of the power or the taxes that the South brought to the table. We lost that war because Jefferson Davis wasn't willing to sink to the depths that the Union army did. Hopefully, our next fight for independence will be successful, but I seriously doubt it. Our government schools have been indoctrinating the masses for far too long.
