So static that the American revolution and the French revolution are so completely different, and why with the completely different make up of the electorate of 2012 and 1860, we have the same exact politics as that period.

In your military experience, how did you divide up those you served with and their willingness to serve the left by going to actual war against their home states and families as our world enemies cheered it on.

2012 Americans would not support a Civil War, that was from a different people, a different nation, a long time ago.

Ask your waitress about it.

Lots of dead on both sides with a good amount of dead civilians unlucky enough to get caught in the middle. I’m pretty sure the french of that day bled and died just like the american colonists. And yeah, you’re going to get some differences between 13 colonies on the other side of the planet deciding to sucede from the empire and a situation where a monarch is deposed, executed and the old system of government is replaced.
