Secession is a Rightful Remedy

[Keith Broaders]

The rights identified in the Declaration of Independence are eternal principles that have always existed. The right to alter or abolish a government is one of our unalienable rights that was granted to us by our Creator.

,In 1776, the British Colonists exercised their right to secede from Great Britain. When the King and Parliament failed to recognize their petition, the result was the American Revolution.In 1861 seven of the Southern States exercised the same right when they seceded from the United States. Lincoln's refusal to recognize the right of the states to secede, he started a war to prevent the southern states from leaving the Union

.If the 13 colonies had the lawful right to secede from Great Britain in 1776, was it wrong for the 11 southern states to secede from the United States in 1861?

The Constitution is a contract between the states and whenever a contract is violated the contract becomes null and void.  At the time they seceded the population of the south represented approximately 30% of the nation's total population, but were paying 80% of all of the tax revenue."

According to the Constitution taxes are to be equally apportioned among the states, The Civil War was not a civil war, it was the Second War for American Independence.The Civil War was not a war between the states, it was a war against the states.
