Just keep repeating that. Every time you say it a racist gets his wings.
In the real world, that same South created laws that said they didn't. The Supreme Court they were fundamental in setting up ruled secession uncostitutional and according to the law the South agreed to abide by seceding was illegal.
Now, if you're going to argue that it's a natural right, the South doesn't believe in natural rights. Want me to prove it? Pick a natural right.
