here's a few facts for you dumb ass: 1) The South seceded from the Union. 2) The South did so in order to preserve an economy based on the use of slave labor. 3) Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, SC on April 12, 1861. 4) The South the war it started and Confederate forces under the command of General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox Court House, VA. April 9, 1865. End of story.

Yeah, nothing like the economy based on voluntary servitude and forcing immigrants off the ship straight into a uniform like in the North. Slavery comes in many forms, even mental slavery.

Anyway, you do recognize some economic causes for the war.
Does Taxation enter your pea brain as a cause?
Do you even know what Fort Sumter was?

Do you recognize States' Rights or are all of the States/America just some big old Federal enclave with no rights at all?

End of story.

Not for you, apparently.
You seem to want to fight an old war anew.

Is the new, economically revitalized South what has you so scared these days?
