Would you rather fight with morally right rebels or a constitutionally correct government?

Now now, I know all of you are yellow bellied, lily livered chickenshit cowards who gonna cream in your pants in any situation that would require courage or an upright spine. But what if you don't have a choice?
What if events sweep you up in such a manner is that you have to fight, but you still have some level of freedom to choose the side you have to fight for?

Its either that or you are strung up from a tree like a chicken or shot for cowardice. Assume that both sides have an equal chance to win the civil war. And oh, as for the side who loses the war, they all get strung up too.

Hmm, both of our current "teams" feel they are morally right and constitutionally correct. I would need more information to choose.

Well since the Constitution is a living document it would he hard to fight for it i would imagine. It is not the bible that is set in stone forever. The government should be adopting the peoples will with amendments etc. With the correct votes, etc obviously.

Don't we need two thirds of the States to pass amendments?

How is the Constitution amended?
Article V of the Constitution prescribes how an amendment can become a part of the Constitution. While there are two ways, only one has ever been used. All 27 Amendments have been ratified after two-thirds of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and send it to the states for a vote. Then, three-fourths of the states must affirm the proposed Amendment.

The other method of passing an amendment requires a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States. That Convention can propose as many amendments as it deems necessary. Those amendments must be approved by three-fourths of the states.

These parameters are poorly defined. What is "morally right" and what is "correct?" Valid, acting withing legal limits? Are the rebels morally right to rebel against a valid government acting legally within the constitution?
