First of all, posting in blocks like this are just painful to read. If you really want someone to take it seriously, I suggest that you at least split your statements into separate paragraphs.
Second, I understand that some people have a grudge against the "Union" as you call it for what happened. I'll go ahead and agree with you that the main cause of our Civil War was simply to reunite our nation. It was this nation as a whole that fought off the British, twice in order to preserve what the ENTIRE nation stood for. I'm a firm believer that the purpose of our country is to give a place for all to live free.
Now the Confederacy broke away because Federal policy was going to destroy the southern state's economy, which relied heavily on slave labor. Believing that Britain was going to back them up (due to the cotton trade between Britain and the US), the southern states broke away and formed their own country.
Now I believe that given the right circumstances, individuals and groups have the right to break away from their government when they feel that the government is impeding their God given rights as human beings. In that sense, I don't believe that the Confederacy did anything wrong. I do however stand against the sheltering of ANYONE who willingly supports measures to take away another person's rights. The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Confederacy as a whole may not have supported slavery, but they also didn't abolish it or support abolishing it. Their actions therefore aren't ones that I can support so I think that Lincoln and his administration did the right thing.
However, you are entitled to your own opinion, no matter how much it seems like a rabid and unreasonable conspiracy theory. I don't know how you would justify the actions of a government that you hold dear even though they collapsed about 150 years ago but then again I don't really care. I just thought I should provide the counter-argument to your ramblings.
