Lincoln’s election in and of itself was just an excuse for these hotheads to think they had something and it ended up in over 500,000 deaths, 11 states getting ravaged by the war AND 50 years of economic destitution and repercussions that last even to this day. Nice going.

And yet they keep coming. The South's demise was actually caused by the invention of Air Conditioning in the early 1960's, sissy Northerners could come South, pollute the southern body politic and live in Air Conditioned comfort........

Actually the two largest migrations in the last century were south to north. It wasn't the invention of air conditioning that reversed that trend, it was the enforcement of civil rights.
