1) Cotton was not king. In fact, the widespread planting of cotton in the south contributed to the Confederate loss in the subsequent war, as they did not have sufficient farmland to grow food for their armies. In the northwest, they grew wheat and corn, which were much more useful. And when Britain suffered poor harvests, they were much more willing to trade with the North, as the ability to feed their people was much more important than the ability to make trousers.
2) Lincoln may not have freed any slaves personally, but the Union Army sure did, under his direction. Slavery was not a distraction, as you claim. Firstly, the spread of slavery westward was probably the foremost reason for the conflict to begin with. Secondly, the Union war effort was largely uninvolved with the southern slaves until the Emancipation Proclamation, with the exception of some Union Generals like John C. Fremont who took matters into their own hands. And when the decision was finally made to free the slaves, what motivated Lincoln the most was the ability to cripple the South’s economy by undercutting their main industrial force. Also, I shouldn’t have to point this out, but slavery is really, really bad. I can’t help but question the moral foundtion of anyone who would support an institution born from the desire to oppress others, and then further try to defend that practice as, and I’m paraphrasing, not that bad. And no number of your statistics will convince me otherwise.
3) Also I’m a bit confused…you claim that the majority of the wealth was in the South, yet you claim that they were resisting a government who aimed to “impoverish” them?
4) Oh, and the War of Northern Aggression is a serious misnomer. The South shot first, on April 12th, 1861, on the federally owned Fort Sumter, despite the fact that the North had made no move to keep the South from establishing the Confederacy. Saying that the North was wrong to retaliate is akin to saying the United States should have just let the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor or the terrorists commit the 9/11 attrocities without retribution. And your Lincoln quote, about filling his coffers…again, the North had made no move whatsoever against the South. The Confederacy struck first.
5) And, as Woodrow Wilson (a native Southerner) has written, the North really did the South a favor by conquering it. The South was sorely lagging behind the rest of the world, caught up in an antiquated and (as you yourself admit) inefficient mode of industrial and social processes that, had the North “let it go,” would have set the Confederacy up for either complete economic failure, or worse, European domination. Don’t forget, Napoleon III had, by this time, established a puppet government in Mexico, and neither the Mexicans nor the French would have had any qualms with taking back the land lost in the Louisiana Purchase or the Mexican War. The Confederacy was a governmental system that could not survive. Each state printed its own money, militias were poorly organized and governors over-controlling, inflation was rampant and, again, they relied on the insitution of slavery for their industrial capabilities.

Regardless of the inaccuracies of your rant, there is one simple rebuke to your call for secession (which is itself the same sort of overblown sensationalist claim which you rail against). We live in a democratic nation. There is no need for secession, as Lincoln pointed out all those years ago. If you are being oppressed by a monarch or dictator, rebellion is warranted. If you don’t like what your government is doing in a republic, you vote the shmucks out of office. This isn’t exactly czarist Russia here, people. Vote, petition, engage in the democratic process. Change can take place without a full-blown uprising; we as a nation have proved that time and again. I’m assuming you are all adults here; think reasonably. Take the rebellion elsewhere, it is not needed here.

And really, please, cite your sources if you are going to claim things as fact. I’d imagine someone with your level of supposed education would know that by now. That way, when you deliver misinformation, people can follow through and see for themselves. If you’re interested, anything I have printed can be found in any of the books I mentioned earlier.

Lastly, we aren’t going to secede again. We learned that lesson well. However, you ought not to criticize the South because we are doing nothing except going by the book and playing the game the way y’all want it played. We are not the ones who came up with the idea of Big centralized government which gives away money from cradle to grave. We were against it. Look at it this way: we are all one now, just like you wanted, for better or for worse. If we go down, you will be there with us.

The time is coming near America, wake up before it is to late. If you want to be a slave to the New World Order stay the sheeple that you are. If you want to take back your country speak up, email your congressmen and woman, VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBANTS (except Ron Paul and a few others that abide by the US Contitution) and as a last resort by guns and lots and lots of ammo. True Patriots will not let the country go without a fight and fight we will if we are backed into the corner.
