Also, let's not pretend supporting/not supporting the Civil War is even related to some sort of academic argument on supporting/not supporting the right of individual governments to secede.

I have no problem with peaceful arrangements of secession; the run-up to the Civil War was nothing like that, and frankly, there was no reason it should've been peaceful and allowed in the first place. Slavery was a disgusting practice that no nation that prized itself for it's "freedom" should've ever allowed in the first place. The South didn't want to give up their ability to enslave an entire race of people, and attempted to illegally secede to protect it. They failed, and the practice was ended. It was bloody and it was worth it. Ending slavery is all the justification needed.

Also, I wonder how many of those who voted against the revolution are Americans.

Please, happily recognize me as being an anti-Revolution American.
