If you think I'm seriously crying out for "secession now!" you need to reconsider.

I made the post because it's often overlooked. It's forgotten that it happened on Christmas Eve. Revisionists of all stripes try to rewrite the causes. If you read the Articles, the argument is clear that South Carolina acted within her constitutional rights. I think the document itself is as succint a historical document as you'll find.

I don't have a problem with the Constitution as written. I'm not interested in writing a new one and think the exercise is futile to attempt. My position is the Constitution wasn't honored at that time because it was distasteful in the north to do so. That's not a good enough reason, but might made right.
