62 years ago, when I enlisted in Uncle Sam’s Army, I ran into a few, not many, knotheads who were still bloviatingly refighting the Civil War. I was flummoxed that anyone could be THAT obtuse. Now, here, at this late date, some knotheads are STILL doing it. No wonder Hillary and her minions are still fighting the 2016 campaign. I sometimes am just a bit obsessive compulsive myself. But after 250 years?! Some people belong on the “Funny Farm”.
I guess you are somewhat unfamiliar with the history of Ireland, Scotland and England. You think 150 years later is bad?
A lot of people do not understand that the civil war broke the original compact of federalism. The Federal portion of the government is now far more powerful than it was ever intended to be when it was created by the founders. They would be aghast and horrified at the usurpation of the rights of states and the rights of individuals, and much of this disaster is a consequence of the Civil War.
Abortion, gay marriage, "anchor babies", and other modern disasters are a consequence of the growth in Federal powers caused by the civil war. This system of governance born in 1776 has become a monster. It is now too big and too powerful and issues edicts and directives completely at odds with the will of the people.
Just one knothead's view regarding the origin of many of our modern problems.
