Sounds much like the "War of Southern Stupidity". Let's not go there either. I'll Go there. The "South" was not "Stupid" enough to "Start" the war. The lives of some 600,00-800,000 Americans lost lay Squarely on the Shoulders of ole "Honest  Abe Lincoln. Had he followed the Constitution which he Swore to uphold, there would have been no war.

William Tecumseh Sherman set the mold for later villains in wartime: Hitler, Himmler, Stalin, Tojo, Chairman Mao-- No war has any degree of civility in its battle plan-- The "War of Northern Aggression" left scars upon our land, whether North of South of the Mason-Dixon line, that still exist today-- RWTF Sounds much like the "War of Southern Stupidity". Let's not go there either. I still say that if James Watt had been an American, we'd have freed the slaves twenty years before the War Between the States due to obsolescence. But he wasn't and the southern economy was still dependent upon slave labor. Southern secession was the result of northern insistence upon the federal 'right' to dictate abolition to the south. If the south had not seceded and fought an ill fated war over the right to withdraw, the southern economy would still have collapsed for 50 years due to the loss of labor. Your knowledge of history may be better than my own...Geo See lonesome, I can re-fight the civil war with the rest of'em.

Lucky for the Brits the EU doesn’t have an army. Bloody secessionists. How’s that coming along, King? (the eu army) (let’s see if a world war breaks out) ___________________________ I can’t decide who the bigger idiot is, Macron or Trudeau.

I'd be curious to know what part of the Constitution you think Lincoln, our greatest President, didn't follow? I suppose you will make some sort of 10th Amendment argument? (I will grant you that his suspension of the writ of habeous corpus during the Civil War was constitutionally suspect).

What do you say we stick with upland bird hunting and leave the Civil War to history?
Personally, I like hunting upland birds anywhere they are found.

I am a southerner by birth and a Georgian by the grace of God, but refighting the civil war is silly. We lost and that was best in the long run for all Americans. The only flag I ever saluted was the Stars and Stripes...Geo

The war between the states started in Kansas long before the Battle of Fort Sumter April 12–13, 1861, and no state as a % of the male population contributed more Union soldiers. "Bloody Kansas" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p2952.htmlThe killing of John Brown's son in the 1856 Pottawatomie Massacre got him started https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/john-brown/11731 But the terrible war ended like this for many, and maybe we can let them rest in peace Constant Mayer - "Recognition North and South"
