No, actually they attempted to leave.
Historically we never had a break in the nation's history as a nation.
We had a Civil War.
But we were never two nations.
So, when do you and your neo-confederate buddies celebrate the birth of the Confederate States of America?
No actually they left. Check your encyclopedia.
Historically we never had a break in the nation's history as a nation.
You must not have read history. We had a war that was predicated on half of the country declaring its independence from the other half.
We had a Civil War.
More properly called the War of Northern Aggression. And we almost won it despite being outnumbered 5 to 1 and be an agrarian, peaceful society vs. a northern industrial war machine. Many British observers considered our troops to be the greatest warriors to ever take to horseback in all recorded history.
But we were never two nations.
Yes we were. Again, go read your history books. At the time there was a country called the Confederate States of America. It had its own government, currency, military, and trash collectors. DUH!
So when do you and your neo-confederate buddies celebrate the birth of the Confederate States of America?
We don't celebrate the birth of a nation that no longer exists. We celebrate the sacrafices of those who came before us and we do it on April 26, May 10, May 30, and June 3. The Georgia State Government takes a day off on April 26. People like you and NS would not have the souls of those people remembered for their love of freedom but only for their love of slavery. 99 out of 100 of those people who died had no slaves nor had any family who had slaves. So the war was about what?
