For you to say that the Confederate States had no right to dissolve their union with what they saw as an abusive and corrupt northern government in Washington D.C., is to effectively say that a woman has no right to dissolve her union with whom she perceives to be an abusive man.

Moreover, that type of spurious thinking would lead down the path of a completely illegitimate United States, for committing treason against the crown of England during the Revolutionary War. 

What shall we say then,...Might Makes Right? 

Mike Husa, for you to say,.."The Confederate Statues need to be removed",... is right out of Karl Marx and the Red October Revolution of 1917.
