“The civil war was in my view an attempt at improvement.”
That is an interesting comment.
Unless you view southern secession as an improvement - which I don’t think you do - then you must mean you view the war against the South a northern attempt at improvement.
In what way was the destruction and killings an improvement that could not have been achieved through peaceful constitutional amendments?
But after many years it was not achieved. Coulda, shoulda, woulda is not the sort of discussion I care to engage in ...However your comments are also interesting...LOL...I also avoid telling people what they "must mean"...Happy holidays and Good night
