I think I'd like to lead a march on Appamatox Courthouse.

When we get there, I would lay a sword on the table and announce "on second thought, the armies of the North surrender. The Confederacy wins. Get out. Now."

They want to keep fighting the Civil War? Fine. Let them go. See how well they'd do without us.

Of course, we'd have to designate Kentucky and southern Missouri as a Demilitarized zone, but small loss.

It was a punishment (social exile), but some anarchists surely would like it:

You are free to do whatever you want. No laws, no regulations, no taxation.
On the other hand, you have no rights and no access to the courts. Anybody is free to rob and kill you and it would be totally legal.
