One Hundred Fifty Years Ago This Week...

170 vile traitors in South Carolina declared that their state was leaving the Union, the start of the most monstrous and devastating act of treason in American history, one which eventually left over 620,000 military dead and tens of thousands of civilian dead.

And the political party that celebrates the Confederate treason and honors the Confederate traitors?
