37% of who, again? Would or do what?

37 % of Mississippi GOP

37 % of McDaniel supporters in the recent Ms GOP (open) primary

37 % of Republicans who voted in the Ms primary runoff

Retrospectively support the CSA in the Civil War?

Would support the CSA if there was another Civil War (and what would be at stake, this time)?

Would support the CSA If there was a do-over of the original Civil War (about both slavery and secession, again)?

It appears Democrats were also asked that question, and no trifling number also went for the CSA.

Interestingly, it seems nobody was asked whether Lincoln - or the North - should have fought the war, either to force the southern states back into the Union, or to abolish slavery, or both - or without qualification (for whatever reason).

Nor is there any hint how far this support might go.

Supporting a war is a long way from signing enlistment papers, or even allowing oneself to be drafted.

Ask Dick Cheney.

Had Lincoln been willing to accept secession, the USA and the CSA would doubtless have negotiated terms for the peaceful evacuation of military installations within the CSA by Union forces.

So, no battle at Fort Sumter.
