If scotland secedes from the UK, should america apologize for not letting the south secede in 1861?

[ShootSpeeders]

The south has been condemned for 150 years for merely trying to secede from what they felt was an oppressive govt. That's what the original 13 colonies did in 1776 and what scotland is trying to do now.

Apples v oranges.

Why should we apologize to a bunch of traitors? I am not saying the people of the modern South are traitors but their ancestors on the other hand...

The idea of secession obviously. Haters like you say it's ok for countries to secede - except when the confederacy does it.

THINK

I have no idea what you are talking about and obviously that makes two of us.

Regardless whether the UK splits, at some point in the future I think the US should divide into two or more nations.
I think it's a matter of survival.

Why not apologize?

After all, Americans TWICE chose to have an Apologist-in-Chief when they could have had presidents.

If only the Southern states had Representatives and Senators in Congress to combat such an oppressive federal government. If only...

Their candidate lost the Presidential election so they decided to leave The Union. If anything they owe America an apology for their traitorous and treasonous actions.

It's always been quite obvious that you don't know what you're talking about.

At the time there were many who thought so and they weren't all in England.

Yes he was, and had they lost the war he would have been hung as a traitor.

He mighta been hanged but I doubt it would have much impact on his equipment.....

I heard there's a physiological reaction to hanging from which the phrase "well hung" gets its meaning.
