I listened to the podcast and do not understand why taking a document from a entity in rebellion is considered a crime and thus not able to keep the document. The State of NC owned the document, it was in rebellion from the United States and thus should not be a protected entity. You can guess I am not a native but I'd hope to have the same opinion if I was.

Fun fact: all three NC signers of the Declaration of Independence were all adult transplants who moved here for business! It’s always been a state for transplants.
