i totally agree you might want to build a fence on both sides with all the freemen clamouring to come to the New USA

Civil War was about States Rights, Lincoln actually want to ship the Slaves back to Africa.

i would hope that we can stay together as a union, but if Texas drops out it will not be over a small infraction. It will be a large build up of events that we as Americans can not put up with from our Federal Gov. If they are pushed to the point of leaving i am sure others will go also: Oklahoma (they had a resolution in their congress about the 10th), Arkansas (they pass a 10th resolution) and there were other last year. Colorado, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama ... all the good midwest boys and more will join in.

the feds would have their hands more than full by the time Texas leaves and i hope if it is bad enough for them and will be bad for the rest of us, so my vote will go with them!!! i see it like Lee, Jackson, and many other did before the Civil War. pray that our Union and work it out and stay together, but if we must go I will go 100%!! And if we must fight for our states rights then I will fight for my states right to be free and my children to grow up in a free Nation under the Constitution as I and my forefathers did.
