Well since the South didn't allow my kind to bear arms, I would have taken the opportunity if presented to me.

Was the right to secession ever adjudicated?

Treason is a fight against your homeland. Where was Lee's after Virginia seceded.

We've been through this. Embedded in the constitution is an implied perpetuity. I posted some contemporary opinions on this board not three weeks ago.

Blacks did not bear arms or serve in combat roles for the South.

I think the Virginia flag is appropriate. The U. S. flag would not be, since Lee never had his citizenship reinstated after the war.
