While that is true, it is also true that there were "insurgent agents". Why did Lincoln have to sneak into Washington, in disguise, with Pinkerton?

Oh, and by the way, I had sent you post #299. In it I stated, "Have you thought through the problems that might arise with the two nations living side by side?" It was just rhetorical, but did you have any trouble understanding what I meant?

Not much different than ante bellum. Slaves were heading North way before the war anyway. So pretty much the same.

Have you thought through the problems that might arise with the two nations living side by side?

You mean like all the problems and wars we've had with Canada for the last 100 years?
