So, I can't interest you in a "General Sherman, I Came. I Saw. I Barbecued!" Apron?
The only thing I'd be interested in is the location of his gravesite, as I wouldn't mind taking a dump on it.
He's buried in St. Louis...
The inaccurate terms civil war and war between the states mean the same thing, a war between two factions in the same country.
The south seceded and became a separate nation.
Actually Lincoln looked at this as a possible solution to the cultural problems of trying to integrate free blacks into white society. Considering that a civil war was being fought with that as one of the major issues, one has to accept that this was definitely a problem. However Lincoln never advocated making such exportation mandatory and his thoughts on it were purely speculative.
It was about states' rights more than about slavery. It worked out for the North, the states have fewer and fewer rights. It was never set up that way in the first place.
So,dress codes trumph the constitution?In that case i find the "sissy rainbow" and the "peace symbol" offensive!I think the failed public indoctrination centers(public schools)should be concerned about education rather than brainwashing!
"Meet me in Saint Louie, Louie..."
"Burleson High School education officials maintain the Confederate symbol is offensive."
How did the libs ever come to the conclusion that 'offensiveness' is the litmus test for free speech? Needless to say, this is another First Amendment case the ACLU won't be taking on.
I imagine that a certain actor at Ford's Theatre had something to do with that.
The war was not about freeing blacks, was not about slavery at all. It was about Northern envy of the opulence, politeness and charm it saw in such Southern cities as New Orleans, Richmond, Savannah, Charleston and Mobile. It was a war of envy, a war to increase federal power (which had it's roots in Jacksonianism) and a war to protect northern industry at the expense of Southern industy.
States rights to do what? The major states rights issue was the issue of slavery - it wasn't parking tickets.
I imagine you'd be right. I was pretty disappointed a few weeks ago when I read that Lincoln's motives were more political than altruistic. Pity.
Agreed.
was not about slavery at all.
Delusional.
prefer it(except for the theatrics)but actually Jesse would have been a better show on just bikes(his special bike shows were good,I really liked his Mexico run with Kid Rock),instead he got the Monster garage deal...a show I skip past faster than anything. But Jesse's marriage to a porn star turned me off on him forever.
Yeah, I'd say that's about right. That and the Morrill Tariff.
War of Southern Independence BUMP.
Long live the South.

good , lets tell him
And no matter how many half-truths, distortions of stats, out of context quotations and moral equivocations it took, he achieved his goal. Coming next, The Real Winston Churchill, a biography by Joseph Goebbels IV.
