I find it interesting discussing the Civil War when half the current Population of this Country is trying to ignite a another Civil War.

We can’t even agree on how the first one started or who was to blame with the benefit of over 150 Years of hindsight.

Excellent point! Many folks won't even acknowledge that our political parties have changed over the last century and a half. Which party demanded a 'strict construction' of the Constitution in 1860? It was primarily the Democrat Party, which cited the 10th Amendment repeatedly, in defense of the right of State secession. In contrast, how many Democrats living nextdoor to Freepers would insist that "the Constitution means exactly what it says"? Today, most 'constitutionalists' vote Republican (and a lot of them apparently voice support for the 19th century Republicans, simply because of the party name)...
