Mahlon,

I agree.

"Most of the CSA debaters seem to be on the defensive"

I would also like to saw from our point of view, the North is still attacking and it happens everyday in one southern state or another. If we seem defensive, believe me it is for good reason. has it ever occured to you, that if the south wasn't always under attack, boards like this would dry up and blow away? If more folks were just looking for the facts instead of trying to place the blame on one another, I believe we could get more serious research done. My opinion is to let history stand on it's own two feet.

"It has proven out that the South's right to secede was a self inposed right, later deemed to be a non-right"

If the South did not have this right, would you be kind enough to post where this information may be found? Please don't reference me to S.P. Chase, I have found i don't belive two things that man said.
