Correct. From the Southern side it was all about slavery. From the Northern side it was not.

The limits of your denial have no bounds.

Southern reason for secession: States rights.

northern reason for initiating hostilities: Politics.

Let that be a lesson to you then. Do not start a war unless you're willing to live with the consequences.

Up till now, the South has never started a war, but we've shown that we won't back down, even in the face of overwhelming odds. We're still like that, so, tread lightly.

Like I've told you before, you yankees should be thanking us for remaining in the union, otherwise, the north would be flying the Hammer & Sickle.

Sure. What state's right was being denied?

The North did not initiate hostilities, the South did.

Other than 1861.

Sure. The South gonna rise again. Someday. Maybe. Sooner or later.

ROTFLMAO!!!! You protected us from the commies but still gave us Clinton and Carter and LBJ. Thanks a lot.
