Do those comparisons ~truly~ “connect” in your mind?
If so, you are *the* most aptly named FReeper in history.
I know that surely *you* must know this but it was not a true “civil war” in the respect that the south did *not* want to invade/conquer/occupy/overthrow the north or its government.
They wanted, as was their constitutional right, to simply walk away from the [formerly] voluntary union and be left alone.
If you are not aware of that, I’m afraid there’s nothing more for me to say to you.
You are beyond hope.
I'm not sure what's connecting in your's. Except Southron myth.
Your dealing with somebody who never tasted a federal boot that he didn’t like. He suckles the federal teat every 15th and 30th of every month .
