Replying to @MorlockP
I think it was founded on the belief that people have a right to overthrow tyrannical government. The colonials only became traitors and seceded because their government had already betrayed their rights as Englishmen.

Replying to @FahadMAlam @MorlockP
And by right of conquest, colonials achieved independence. I contend Confederacy got exactly what they wanted (independence from tyrannical gov’t) without firing a shot - then f-ed it up by firing a shot.

I entirely agree. Greek tragedy. They couldn't stop themselves from starting a glorious losing war. If they had just quietly ignored the federal government, they would have won.
