LOL if the south wouldve won it would be a third world country??? Well why do people here believe in the majority of what the south stood for. Lesser government, family values, importance in Christian values, patriotism. Will america become a third world country if conservative values succeed?? I think not
Firing upon U.S. soldiers defending land that was, and hopefully always will be, sovereign U.S. territory - does not display Conservative value, nor a family value, nor Christian value, and certainly not patriotic value.
You have any particular reason for believing the CSA believed more in "family values, importance in Christian values, patriotism" than the Union?
I'll give you a partial on "lesser government." Although it's only fair to point out that one of the major things objected to by the South in the years leading up to the War was northern states using state rights to protect freedom of escaped slaves. In this case the South insisted federal power be used to override State law.
