In many ways yes.

Did the parents at your kids school tell the judge that your kids couldnt pray in school or did the judge tell then they wouldnt?

Did your state ever vote on abortion or were you told to shutup like it?

Gay marriage soon too.

Is that really what freedom is to you?

You've got an awfully loose view of what constitutes a dictatorship,then.

Tell me, is there any government on the face of the planet that doesn't qualify as a dictatorship "in many ways" in your eyes? Or is it only the slavery-allowing USA of 1776-1861 that qualifies?

You’re putting the ills of today upon the Union cause. Who knows what modern oppression would have come out of the Confederacy had it survived? But the years that the CSA did exist do not suggest a promising future.
