Secession

An editor has consistently reverted my simplification of "declared its secession" to "seceded" since "seceded" is "quite possibly" pov. What in the world??!!!! The state seceded. Why use a contorted way of saying that? Let's make it simple for foreigners. And what is the problem, anyway? Student7 (talk) 20:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The user seems to be claiming succession did not happen, since it was later deemed illegal/null by the US Supreme Court. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:17, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graduation rate

Like all statistics on the South, education tends to look worse than the rest of the country. Sometimes (Mississippi) this is correct. It may or may not be for Alabama. The reason is that when whites are compared to whites ("up north") they often do fairly well. Similarly, when blacks are compared to blacks nationwide, they often do better than average. The cards tend to be stacked against the South when comparing everybody in one big melting pot, which the South is not. Student7 (talk) 21:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
