[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 921359, member: 6897"] Those wanting Texas to seceed now are probably out of the the same lineage and mentality that volunteered to fight in the civil war without having a clue what it was all about or even who the enemy was. Most thought it was going to be little more than a few attacks and then all would be fine within a few weeks or months. (yeah read those letters home). Act first then worry about the consequences latter if ever. Like it or not the south did not want to lose $6 billion dollars worth of slaves (that's in 1860's dollars). Don't tell me they weren't important to those that had them. It supported their entire lifestyle. If you weren't a rich land owner you were only one level above a slave, always working for the "man" and barely surviving. He11 we brag about how hard it was. We (the south) got our asses handed to us. That's about all the real history that matters. All the rebel battle flags in the south won't change that. [/QUOTE]
