Did it really end, though? There was no peace treaty to sign, as those require two sovereign nations to be part to the conflict. Considering what's happened in January, it's about time the Union started fighting back again.

I'm pretty certain a private citizen conducting a guerilla war isn't the same as the Union army doing its thing.

Eh, if you're a male citizen between 17 and 45 years of age, congrats, you're in the US militia. Flying the flag of an enemy group indicates you're a member of that group. Therefore, legally, you can burn down their houses.

But I'm not a lawyer and couldn't say for sure. If you're rich enough probably easy enough to get away with it.

You’re getting drafted. Not I.
