Because they were supporting the status quo, and because nice theoretical arguments really are just that.

No, the 10th Amendment clearly states that the states have this right, as it is not specified as federal. There's no need for the SC to be involved.Originally posted by Victor Galis

Re: U.S. Civil War - Did the South Have the Right to Secede?
nope, because they simply did not have the population or the industry, and hence the military strength to back it up.Comment

I meant to ask you before. Several years ago your family had problems with ignorant bigots.
I believe that was in New Jersey. How much problem did you encounter in Georgia?
I daresay a lot, since we all know what hick rednecks all are in the South. Given the fact you surely must have, odd you bore the brunt of it without saying anything.
I feel certain you wouldn't have an episode-free school experience, and then turn around and speak poorly of them.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Why do you assume this is a right? Furthermore, is the theoretical existance of this right relevant if it can not be exercised.Originally posted by Caligastia

You mistake the inside of the Perimeter with the South, whereas most of metro Atlanta is in fact a northern colony.I daresay a lot, since we all know what hick rednecks all are in the South.

I actually think that states do (or did, anyway) have the right to seceed from the Union. Exactly how to do it is another matter... and obviously firing on Ft. Sumter gave Lincoln the pretext he needed to use troops to put down the rebellion.
That's an entirely seperate issue from the arguments we've had regarding whether or not slavery was the primary driver of secession, and regarding the original and uses of the Confed Battle Flag (or whatever it's proper name is).

No. This is a recent thing. The population of Atlanta was around 1 million fairly recently (70s, 80s?). It's currently 4+ million. Where did all those people come from? The North (and Mexico... ignore the illegal mexicans). (Birth rates don't support quadrupling of populations in one generation.Originally posted by SlowwHand

I'm not sure I'd say the right to sucession is implied rather than simply not addressed, much in the same way many issues in the US are, leading to rediculous arguments about what the Founding Fathers would think."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

He's saying that Imran is still living in the north, albeit a northern colonial possession in GA, I do believe.
