I agree completely with him, but it ain’t gonna happen until things are a lot worse than this. Remember that the Civil War did not bring it to an end.

I have a more detailed plan that does not require splitting up the USA. I wrote it many moons ago.

*******************************************************
I can’t fault Lincoln for many of his actions ,,, and he may not have had a real choice in the matter as we had hit the tipping point on weak V. strong fed gov. ... but the civil war caused more problems than it solved , changing the US into a country dominated by the fed rather than independant republics and commonwealths working toward common goals ... The main benefit of the civil war ,, the end of slavery ,, was happening anyway because of innovation and mechanization... I think it would have occurred within 20 years of 1865 without a war.. The real tragedy was that the northern states maintained their punishing duties and taxes on the south and set us on our current path.
