Yes, that process required a Civil War in which about 2% of the entire male population were killed. The equivalent today would be about 3 million deaths. If this is your preference, I would prefer something else.

So you opposed the North's war of Northern agression and think the south should have been left alone? Welcome to Paulville.

Perhaps you would be less enthusiastic about killing 3 million Americans if you knew, for sure, that your entire family would be among them? Myself, I am generally opposed to mass murder.
