I sympathize and support the Confederacy and what they fought for.
They were for the preservation of state rights, and that's a freedom been taken away from us. The layers and layers of federal regulation that exist in the U.S. limit our opportunities severely. We have a large expanse of territory and conditions / opinions are different in every region (state). With more state rights, the economy could flow more freely based on its region and state regulation. The government is of the opinion that one remedy fixes all, and I'm here to tell that is not the case.
Political ranting aside, the Confederacy had the right reason to secede.

Which wasn't slavery.
