“It’s never been about the slavery, Rob.  It’s about States’ rights for self-rule and the right to secede at any time.  Those were supposed to be guaranteed by the Constitution.  Lincoln’s election and claiming ownership of all ‘Federal’ sites within the states prove that he and those that go along with him are no better than tyrants and dictators.  Slavery!  Slavery will be done away with of its own accord in this generation.  It can’t continue and even the slave owners know that much.  No sir.  This war isn’t about slavery, much as the politicians of the North want us to believe that.  It’s more about a government usurping powers and authority the people never intended it to have.”               Jeff”

“Perhaps the war is never won,” Pierce said. “We must simply find satisfaction in survival.”
