And it has been pointed out that had the 13 states the formed the United States knew that joining was a one way street, none would have ratified the Constitution. Lazarus, you really know your Civil War history. It is a shame that so many good Americans have grown up exposed only to the pap in their history textbooks. I have a quote from one of the post-war Supreme Court justices advising the Feds not to prosecute Confederate officers and officials as war criminals, since they were within their Constitutional rights to secede and any trial against them would reflect poorly on the Union. I have the link at work but will try to hunt it down. BTW, I believe, though I haven't seen it yet, that the current movie Gangs of New York deals with the draft riot you described.
