It was mostly just my thoughts on the matter. I wasn't expecting a disagreement. I should have made this clearer.
Also kudos on that avatar, I saw that movie a couple of years ago.

If they fought to protect the states independence, what meddling was it they wanted wanted independence from? Their right to keep capturing free-men and turning them into slaves.
