The funniest part is some of the reviews are upset that the movie treats Southerners as people who acted like they were fighting against invasion and not for slavery!

We were fighting against an invasion. The Yankees weren't yet fighting for slavery (at least the vast majority of them and the government), they were fighting to subjugate and conquer the independent, sovereign Confederate States of America, and to forcibly return us to a union with which we collectively wiped our asses.
ACK!Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

MtG: I have NO idea what I posted there! I edited it to say what I wanted it to me.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well, according to the Centers for Disease Control, diabetes, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes are doing in them rebels more efficiently than anything the North could've ever thrown at 'em.

And besides, states have no right to succeed from the union. Those states committed high treason and their crimes shoul never be forgotten.
Nothing in the Constitution says that signatories are permanently bound, nothing spells out any remedies for non-performance or malfeasance by the Federal government, the Ninth Amendment expressly states that the enumeration of certain rights does not deny or disparge others retained by the people, and the Tenth Amendment expressly states that all rights not expressly reserved to the Federal government are reserved to the States or to the People.
And states can't commit treason, only individuals.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."

So if someone gets forcibily stopped from doing something, it means they don't have the right to do it? By your statement "they didn't have the right to," you made a pretension of having some basis for your statement. Obviously, you didn't.
If you say, I don't think they should have, or, I don't think they should have the right to, that's an entirely different matter.If playground rules don't apply, this is anarchy! -Kelso
