And in 1861, all of the established politicians, the power brokers, and their followers decided to secede from the Union and start a civil war.

By 1860, there had been at least a decade of unrest among the silent majority – mostly farmers, Christians, and family people living outside the major urban areas. They were angry with the political establishment and wanted serious changes in the federal government. But they mostly sat silent because they had no political leader who accurately expressed their frustration with the system.
Then an outsider emerged who captured all of the common folks' attention, who promised to change Washington and how it worked and make America a more just country. Nobody gave this outsider a chance to win the presidency! He didn't know anything, they said. All of the established media predicted he would lose big against his well known, established, and well financed opponent.
Well, a funny thing happened. That outsider in 1860 won! And in 1861, all of the established politicians, the power brokers, and their followers decided to secede from the Union and start a civil war.

The democRATs have not been this upset since that time a Republican freed all of their slaves.
And the Democrats are upset because those mean Republicans are threatening to take away their cheap labor again.
Globalist Secession Movement.
I officially give them Seattle.
Only because LA, Chicago and NY have strategic value.
Civil War is the only way to get rid of global Communists.
Sorry, have to disagree.
It set in motion the ongoing encroachment by a strong central government into personal liberty and matters Constitutionally left to the states.
That didn’t happen until the Wilson admin.
And in 1861, all of the established politicians, the power brokers, and their followers decided to secede from the Union and start a civil war.
The last election was small town America versus bigger metro areas. We’ve all seen the red versus blue election maps. Even in my Republican district in Illinois, it is the same thing. The bigger the city, the more likelihood a majority of the votes went to the dems..
The democrat states are now so wedded to, and dependent upon big government, they could never leave the union today.
The concepts of independence and self reliance, which gave birth to this nation, are completely alien to that segment of the population, who’ve become nothing more than parasites on the productive class.
Freedom and liberty are the last things they want. They will continue to use the power of the state to extract their sustenance for us for as long as they can. If they go to war, it will be for that purpose alone. They’re not going anywhere.
Everyone here should remember this very simple fact:
Martin Van Buren created the Democrat Party in the 1820s for one purpose only-—to protect and perpetuate slavery via the distribution of jobs and “spoils.”
I have always dreaded that thought, but the more time that passes, the more I am thinking that you are right.
What will happen, when the US economy collapses under trillions of dollars of debt? Will that start it?
***That outsider in 1860 won!***
That outsider was not on the ballot in the Southern states. The Democratic vote was split between Douglas and Breckenridge. some went for Bell.
Had the Democrats run ONE candidate, and no Electoral College, Lincoln would be just a footnote in history, and blacks would have been on their knees to their Democrat overlords saying “Yassah, Nosah, any thang you say Massah!”
Instead Lincoln was elected, the Civil War fought, Slaves freed, and today free blacks are on their knees to their Democrat Masters saying..”Yassah, Nosah, any thang you say Massah!”
Oh wait! Something is wrong here!
No.
Do you think it will start long before then?
You are funny. Connections to the deep state? You are trolling in the wrong place, pilgrim.
You want me to tell you the “shot that’s heard around the world.” I am a Patriot, not an anarchists, communist or domestic Islamic terrorist.
After the Lanky Goon from Illinois refused all peace delegations....
Both times the treasonous Democrats spoke of secession: in the South in 1860-61, in California now.
There is nothing treasonous or unconstitutional about state(s) secession. Actually CA seceding would be a great thing for both parties.
hey fellow Patriot - can you recommend any books on the birth of the dhimmicrat party? One can never have enough primary sources to build his library upon...
