Davis was last ‘real American president’
Check out this spirited argument for self-determination:
The Southern states had more right to withdraw from the United States in 1861 than the 13 colonies had to secede from England in 1776, because England created the 13 colonies, but the United States did not create the 13 states; the 13 states created the United States.
Like the Southern states, the United States today would have the right to secede from the United Nations, because the United Nations did not create the United States, the United States created the United Nations.
Some of the reader comments -- though some don't appear to have actually read what they're criticizing -- just reek of historical ignorance and anti-Southern bias. Post your own thoughts, sit back, and watch the sparks fly!

Kids in school (and adults in college) are not told the truth due to the political correctness that it destroying our culture. History class is not so much imparting facts but giving opinion. Ask any public high school senior or recent graduate what the US Civil War was about and to a person they will tell you "to free the slaves". They have not even read the constitution to realize that there is nothing in it about seceding from the union
The author of this piece in the Andalusia paper, Roger Broxton, is a good friend to the League of the South and the Southern movement.
You'll be sending Possum over the edge with that lead headline....and that ain't all bad.
I must also comment on the "pot calling the kettle black" opinions of the left who accuse true Southrons of "revisionist" history. This White vs. Texas 1869 case is the left's new ammunition. If they REALLY were correct, then why not cite the first efforts to readmit Southern states in 1865. The first attempt without reconstruction to admit them was denied, `because`the 13th and 14th
amendments did not pass required number of states to ratify them. The states then had to be readmitted again after their(Radical Republicans) precious amendments passed. So the crux of my argument is that if they were STILL states of the union ,just only in rebellion as Lincoln maintained, why all the fuss in readmission then? The left cannot have it BOTH ways! My argument is fact and NOT "revisionist"
PS My word verification is "skeres"
How apropos! I hope this "skeres" them good!
Interstin' replies from from Estrogen or whatever pinko handle it was in the comments over at the paper. Using his logic that the Supremes trump Amendments to the now null-and-void, since APE Lincoln tore it up in 1861, Federal Compact of 1789, the Dred Scott decision affirmed that negroes could NEVER be citizens of the U.s.A. ROTFLOL!!! Y'all think on that one ...
Glad to see Dr. Hill enter the fray--the neo-marxists humanists know who he is!!!
A good rebuttal of the White case supposedly declarin' Secession unconstitutional is here:

Don't forget President John Tyler. He stood up for the South, annexed Texas, was against Andrew Jackson when he was forceful with the South Carolina nullifying the Tariff of Abominations of 1828 and supported great southerner John Calhoun's courageous efforts fighting the Tariff of Abominations. He was also vocal against the idea of a coercive union. Tyler however supported the southern idea of a voluntary union.
