Oh, brother, does that one hit home. Precisely why my wife and I are bailing out of Massachusetts...Heading for Nort Carolina, probably! I look around here and see elitists, and just plain mean, miserable people. Time for this guy to load the wagon and roll, instead of just griping about it. I'm headin' into the old Confederacy!
did you remember to put on your FLAMEPROOF long-drawers?
are you BLUE or GRAY??? or a NEUTRAL?
AND if you're supporting the LEFTIST (some would say COMMUNIST) "answer" IDIOTS, you'll need more than flameproof drawers, imVho.
nonetheless, WELCOME!

2. their children will be SOUTHRON,will continue to fight for & WIN our LIBERTY,
3. their children will bask in FREE sunshine, in a new (and much improved) SOUTHRON REPUBLIC and
4. their children will DENY "to the death" that ANYONE in their family was EVER from the north.

That "Invading/Attacking the North Thing" didn't seem to work out so well.
Hmmm...M....M....Mohammed? It certainly would fit!
Breckinridge remained in the Senate until iirc about October, 1861. And no, he was nobody's "fire-eater", but he was the "fire-eater" candidate.
Stanton was an abolitionist; he attended seminary in Ohio in 1830-32 or thereabouts with some prominent Abolitionists and knew the Beechers personally, as a young man: the seminary he attended had been recently established by iirc again the Beechers' father. I'm a little fuzzy on that detail. Stanton left after a few years to read law, but he retained his abolitionist sympathies, which came to the fore under the Johnson Administration.
And yes, he backed Breckinridge and Lane. Strange bedfellows perhaps, but stranger were found in the Constitutional Union Party, where Edward Everett, who later stood on the dais with Lincoln at Gettysburg, ran as the vice-presidential candidate, with John Bell, on the Southern planters' antisecession ticket.
His farewell speech to the Senate can also be read profitably on these issues.
Omigosh, you don't suppose we've got ourselves a Taliban supporter on the thread?
Talk about Ultimate Troll!
Contrary to what you may have heard, you won't need to paint your car orange, put a flag on the roof, or jump over things.
Although you'll be allowed ogle the Duke girls. Discreetly.
Thanks for the response and will do.
One thing you should be aware of is that North Carolina has had so many 'Yankee invaders' already move there, that it really won't be that much of a shock, especially if you go to an area like Raleigh/Durim. You'll almost outnumber the locals.
i THINK it will go this way:
1.in about 10-15 years Le Republique Quebecois will leave Canada peacefully,
2. Los Estados Unidos de Azatlan will also peacefully (by overwhelming popularvote) leave the USA & turn her face southwards & affiliate with Mexico (in 2020 CA/AZ/NM/NV/CO will be MAJORITY Latino.) AND THEN
3. the new & GREATLY improved SOUTHRON REPUBLIC will vote with our collective feet.
imVho, the USA will then become the sort of LEFTIST,"oh, so very PC", nanny-state that "the blue-staters" seem to desire.
EVERYBODY WINS!

You mean the states that rebelled, don't you?
Because the Confederates had the larger task, and the broader radius of action, of creating a new Confederacy and Government de novo under conditions of greater exigency that admitted of no delay, but allowed a broader toleration for compromises of ee.g. juridical and fiscal scruple?
So the ends justified the means? You claim that you left the Union, in part because of what you saw as Constitutional violations of the Fugitive Slave acts, but Constitutional violations of your own were justified. Why am I not surprised that you would cook up some justification?
We have a lot of good people down here.
a simple YES or NO is FINE.
i ask,fyi,because damnyankees are NOTORIOUS for being ANTI-Semites & religious BIGOTS. otoh, we dixie "Jesuslanders" are WELL-KNOWN to be PRO-Israel.
free dixie,sw
