I lay the current state of the republic and the socialism coming at us at the feet of every GD Yankee that crushed the Confederacy.

You would absolve Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush of their expansion of federal government?

No. I just know who tried to stand up to it and who fought for it. Doesn't matter, the Republic is dead. Once politicians, both southern and northern tasted the federal apple it was over. Federal power is very seductive. Republics are not fragile, but don't stand up well to civil war.

What's done is done. It takes blood to destroy a Republic, can one be restored without it?
