If I recall correctly they both lost and lost their rights - whether we consider those rights the right to own slaves or leave the union. > But an insurgency requires a sufficient number of people who feel strongly enough to take up arms. Not true. "The accidental guerilla" by David Kilcullen is a great book on this idea. I'm wondering though for what reason you feel the confederates felt less strongly than gun owners do today.
