but you bring up some interesting point's I guess you are saying than the south had a right to a confiderate government.Since the u.s. government latter gave states also the right to govern?
Not necessarily. Britian reneged on its end of the deal with the colonies so the contract was breeched. It could be argued that the United States government was following the Constitution and the southern states should have proposed an amendment to permit their succession.
Individual southern citizens might have understood their Christian loyalty to powers that be to lie with their state or perhaps with the national government.
