Should the States Secede Now ?

- Charleston Voice -

The Neo-Confederacy is alive and well and on the rise!

You see the South really didn't start the Civil War. According to the VOICE, and with the proverbial straight face: "That South Carolina's firing on Fort Sumter started the Civil War is a bold-faced lie. That 'historical' account is absurd to the extreme." Neo-Confederates would have you believe that honorable Southerners were forced into the war by tyrannical Northern businessmen who imposed all kinds of horrendous economic sanctions on the southern states.

That old ploy that if you tell a big lie often enough it will be believed is being used here. Nevermine that the South held the Presidency for decades before the Civil War began )and held it with Democrat Buchanan elected in 1856.) Nevermine that it was the South, under the Southern Democratic Steven Douglas that ended the status quo of the Missiouri Compromise with the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

The Missiouri Compromise of 1820 was an attempt to limit the expansion of slavery -- an orginal evil the Founders felt they had to give to the South for the Constitution to be ratified. The Kansas-Nebraska Act opened slavery to newly created states.

Enter Lincoln in 1860, the initiation of force by the South, the Civil War, the North's costly victory, and finally the 13th Amendment to the Constitiution in 1864 abolishing slavery forever.
