That was the War of Northern Aggression.

So I felt when we were in the south.

How different would the country be today if the south had succeeded and seceded?

Would Spain have taken us over? (I heard they were waiting in the wings for the Confederates to win.) What would have happened then?

Notice the red states / blue states electoral breakdown among the states nowadays? Is the South not ready to take charge of its own destiny once again? 2 catalysts that I foresee playing a role:

*President Clinton returns to the White House in 2008;
*The national debt keeps reaching record levels even as baby boomers are about to retire in droves:
