Blah blah blah, "we hold the oil and you don't" is all that matters now for us. Back off or face us like MEN.

As a matter of a fact, we have enough oil with Standard Oil of Rockefeller in the Great Lakes region, namely as one of, Ohio. So you are only half right: you have your oil, and we do too. And if you want to face us like "men", as you claim to be, implying that we are, in fact, doing something other than civilized men would do. I don't know... perhaps writing a formal letter of unity? We're sure that's not very masculine. In summary, what you are saying is that you do not care if you are justified in seceding from the Union, and you will threaten our economy with your... grease semi-combustible liquid dug up from the deposits of soil. Very nice work there, man; I'm sure your tenuous banter of "blah" and "blah" is very manly indeed. Good luck drinking oil to stretch your lives. We are very, in local vernacular, "pissed off" indeed. Do not provoke us further with your impudent slanders.

You recognize independence of Texas? Very well, then, on what accounts, sir? We are sure, and surely do hope so much more, that you are not doing thus only to ensure chaos and hatred in our beloved Union. What if we were to recognize whatever you recognize in Texas, in turn, of USCA? Are you going to back off and let those who injured leave with impunity? Choose your words carefully. Your threat of war are not threats at all to us, but on the otherhand, we are fully capable of doing whatever we wish against your consent.
