the only issues we are allowed to vote on now is gay rights and alcohol sales, which concidentally are also tied with gay rights (you know what im getting at, and if you dont, good. you are lucky)

Whether or not it was or wasn't legal for the states to secede, it certainly wasn't legal to attack Ft Sumter. I think that Constitutional scholars can debate the legality of southern secession and come to different conclusions. I'm not a lawyer or law professor.

I agree that "states rights" was a huge part of the disagreement with the Feds, but slavery and the economic impacts to the southern states was the root of much of the underlying issue, as was the fundamental difference in the southern and northern economies. The election of 1860 brought much of this to the forefront and touched off the crisis.

To bring it all back to the original topic of the GA state flag. I'll stick by what I said earlier, and that's that the flag that was introduced in the 1950s with racist motives, and its being removed is a good thing.
