    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.

              You apparently missed a few place. Seeing as the the toilet paper in which you wiped your asses came back and kicked your asses.

                The Charmin was more durable then they thought

                And besides, states have no right to succeed from the union. Those states committed high treason and their crimes shoul never be forgotten.

                    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.

                      That's funny, this post really makes less sense than the last one.

                        States (at least the original signatory states, for the others it's sort of case by case depending on how they came into the union) have every right to secede.

                        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.

                          Why are they still making Civil War movies? I thought Gone With The Wind said it all... Or maybe Birth Of A Nation...

                          Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards

                            Well thats quite irrelevant seeing what happened to the last batch of states who succeeded.
                            Force has made it an amendment.

                            Maybe states cannot commit treason, but the individuals who run them did.

                              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.
