Slavery?
Sorry, I should have phrased that better.
What I meant was that the Civil War STILL divides America.
Why Georgians Still hate Indianians for Burning Atlanta?
That is the kind of Sh!t you have over in Europe.
I thought our values pulled us together better than that.
"Talk about Washington or Jefferson or Lincoln will sound quite hollow if we couldn't keep their country together and can't visit their capital or homes without a passport. It's sweet to talk about a common ideology, but if ideology couldn't save the US, it's not going to save some big, ungainly successor state."
Maybe your right. I just thought we could pull together as a country better than that.
The Founders wanted Federalism, like what you describe of NOT sending your money to some far off Rome to divvy up to its favorites.
Washington D.C. had grown fat off the Labor of Kansas, Tennessee and Michigan.
Yet they party like its 1999, our system is broken and you are right the longer that goes the more animosity is going to build up.
I don’t disagree with that. Just trying to say that if the country splits up, it could really split up. That’s not to say that Colorado would become its own country, but the unravelling could be hard to stop once it gets started.
Southerners don't hate Indianians for the Civil War, just that the South had to be reattached, kicking and screaming, to this socialist statist thugocracy union at the point of a bayonet.
