Wait! How was George Washington and General Grant any bettet than General Lee? In that case, we should not celebrate any early American leaders as they all contributed to slavery, oppression and genocide. General Lee was no worse than George Washington who was a commander during the American-indian wars and set the course for genocide againt the native Americans. Also, under the same American flag you proudly represent today... except there were only 13 stars back then.

This was NEVER an unresolved issue. The Constitution is clear, and there is no provision for secession.
