    Just to clear this up, following the Civil War, the Supreme Court did in fact weigh in on the legality of secession and ruled that it is illegal. You could have a semantics argument over whether the Civil War was illegal as it predated this ruling, but going forward the answer would be yes, secession in the United States would be illegal.

    lincoln would have never supported the harsh reconstruction policies of the johnson administration. my guess is that his plan would have been similar to the marshall plan.

    What's the difference between Confederate flags and Nazi flags again?

    It can be a fine line.

    Our founding fathers were traitors, but happened to win. Before that Europeans were stealing entire continents from the native people and those people were explorers & heroes. Being a conqueror was a good thing.

    That's not enough.

    Stop making movies and never show any reruns ever.

    Send SWAT teams in to confiscate any DVDs.

    We need someone to kill a Native American in DC, so the Redskins will finally listen to everyone asking for a name change.

    So apparently Apple is removing civil war games from the App Store because of the confederate flag?

    LOL

    Don't feed the troll. Feigned ignorance is his schtick, although I have no idea why anybody would want to act intentionally stupid.

    Not sure if serious.

    If you're from the South, you think you understand the whole Southern pride thing.

    But damn it, just let that flag go, all it does is represent hate. General Lee was kind of a cool car in Dukes of Hazard, the flag is not.

    Good move by Walmart, Ebay to stop selling that crap. We need to move on.
