I see you managed to write a whole lot without bothering to discuss whether you'd like living in an America dominated politically by Northeast Yankeedom (leftist) and the West Coast (leftist). We know that's what America would look like if the South was no longer a part of the USA, just by looking at the way the states currently vote.

But, no, instead of discussing that, you “theorize” on what the South would be like today if it were a separate nation, based on war time actions Davis took a century and a half ago. You “theorize” expansion into Cuba and other places. You fret about South African style apartheid, as if the current South Africa is an improvement.

But thanks anyway for the discussion!

We have your predicitions of what it would be like. Would you enjoy living in my scenario any more than I would enjoy living in your's?

But you have no problems blaming all our ills on wartime actions Lincoln took. Well, if he is responsible for what our country has become, as you all seem to believe, then why wouldn't actions taken by the confederacy impact the nation it would become? No, you all ignore what the confederacy did and instead imagine it to be some sort of small government nirvana. With nothing to back that up except the usual run of Southron myth and fantasy.

You “theorize” expansion into Cuba and other places.

No theory to it. The 1860 platforms that Breckenridge and Douglas ran on are clear on that - acquisition of Cuba was something to be pursued. And when the provisional confederate constitution was presented to the conference in Montgomery in February 1861, the first objection made was to the name of the proposed country - the confederate states of North America. The delegates thought that was too limiting and dropped the 'North'. Confederate expansion plans, and the motiviation behind it, was no secret.

You fret about South African style apartheid, as if the current South Africa is an improvement.

And the police state that preceeded it is a much better situation? If you're white, that is? Well, that may well have been the confederacy of 2009. And no doubt you would be happy being a part of it.
