As one says by the grace of God we are born where we are born!
What Lincoln said "A House Divide Can't Stand" is ture!
I suspect this war was created outside of the USA by those who wanted to undermind this Great Nation!
There is so much involved here and sadly even today it seems it is not clearly understood.
One thing is clear the residue is that the Eastern Establishment looks down on All the rest of America!
Something to ponder not all the folks who lived in the East are part of the EE they are just folks making a living and feel the contempt of the EE as though they were from flyover country!

Exactly correct, Resty. Wars are fought for profit; just connect the dots and always follow the money-trail.
I'm neither Easterner nor Westerner, Northerner of Southerner, I'm An American! :O)
But you're right about the EE looking at others from other parts of this great nation with contempt at times, I suppose that's the price we pay for being morally and politically right and loving our country and supporting the good man who is in the White House now. And for looking up to God for guidence and with faith.
And that is why weather liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat a Christian or a Jew. We are all targets for Al Queda and we must not let that be forgotten.
