I think the Confederacy certainly had the RIGHT to get out of the United States for this reason. On the other hand, the Union also had the right to conquer them.

there is not really any such thing as RIGHT.

Which is it?

RIGHTS and RIGHT are two seperate concepts. For example, I have the RIGHT to speak freely. On the other hand, some people do not think the death penalty is RIGHT. I think you know the difference between the two.

Of course. However, you seem to be saying that there can be "rights" (in the "right to free speech" sense) but no "right" or "wrong". If I have the right to free speech, then surely denying me that right must be wrong. And asserting that I have such rights must be right. So again, which is it?
