Tell me, does not having the slavery issue make the Federales cause more difficult? What will be the rallying call this time? I can’t see the North fighting to “preserve the Union”. Much adieu about nothing, the USA is a mile wide and an inch deep.

You got it bass-ackward once again. Slavery was the Southern cause for rebelling. They started the war to further that aim and the Union fought the war that was forced upon them.

For those who "won't be reconstructed, and I do not give a damn" I can well imagine your feelings for America as 'nothing'. For normal people there is a lot at stake and a lot that we care about.

The reassuring thing is that we outnumber you by millions...;-)
