Or to put in another, and perhaps clearer way, even if the right to secession was legitimate, a truly separate foreign country had not yet been achieved. Such separation isn't settled instantly and all at once by the decisions of a state legislature. And a reasonable argument can be made that there is no constitutional right/power of the individual states to unilaterally secede. of course it is, what other way ? Our independence started when state reps voted for it. Fort Sumner was in foreign soil, they were asked to leave. they didn't this becoming invaders

Well some believe in States rights. Others want to make some other form of statement, or fit in with a certain sub culture. Your certainly right that just about no one flying the confederate flag is doing so to signal that they support slavery. How do you know that? And even if they are not, how do you know that they are not calling for separation of the races or a Christian only country? It seems you make every effort to minimize the differences between conservatives and liberals, north and south but in the end they exist and its better to acknowledge them then to ignore them IMO.
