This article goes to show that might is right. We can be a civil people, but we can also turn on each other in a heartbeat. Our current government situation also shows that the government can turn evil in a second. Challenge people in power and they turn against those that gave them their power.

Every Condederate soldier was a Democrat, and every rebel collaborator in the North was a Democrat. In the South, at least 40% of the people remained loyal to the U.S. Government -- the blacks (don't they count?) plus people in Appalachia and the Ozarks, whom the Confederates called "billy yanks in the hills" or "hill billies". How can people today condemn people in this country waging war (jihad) against the government today while praising those who in the 1860s killed 400,000 U.S. troops?
