@803honda oh, I forgot Maryland

during and after the war slavery was still legal in NJ, DE, WV, MO, and KY. If the yanks were really fightin to end slavery why did they still allow it at home????

I believe you mean every word of this.

I believe all persons are of natural right free and equal. I believe no person can make another person their property under any circumstance.
South Carolina believed it was lawful for one person to make another person property. I am glad that any country or government so disposed is denied of power to exercise their will. I am most glad the views you defend are not the American view.

@SamWiseGingy Are you a sentient being?
You idiots killed 600,000 men in an effort to defend and extend slavery. You enslaved people for over two centuries and practiced segregation for a century.
Your actions were a blight on this great nation and a liability to humanity.
Yet you persist in your ignorance and prejudice.
I am most grateful that you lost the CW and that in the civilized parts of this country and world the bigotry you represent is uniformly repudiated.

@SamWiseGingy, The people of the South defended themselves against a Yankee/Federal invasion that killed 600,000 people. We wanted to go our separate way in peace - but the awful US Empire wouldn't let us. Thank goodness that all empires fall - and when this one does hopefully we'll be free again.
BTW, slavery was an American institution - it wasn't confined to the South. Do some more reading.

good video. i don't think south carolina alone could handle independence but all of dixie might have a shot. i wish there was somthing here in maryland about sesecion and southern independence because most people here think the same as the south. maryland has alot of confederate history in the civil war and history before america even existed.

I think that SC would do just fine even if no other Southern States seceded. We are twice the size of Switzerland, a population equal to Ireland, and a GDP greater than 2/3 of the nations of the world.

Before there was a Federal Government, or a Union of American States, some Southerners were well established, (as my ancestors were) and modern Southerners are descended from those early Southerners.
This is our land, it is not your land!

Agreed. My ancestors come from then and there as well. We weren't "immigrants" so much as we were "settlers" - our families and people and culture created this land.
