Our War for Independence was a war of secession: the colonies fought for withdrawal from the British empire, not for dominion over it. That war is nevertheless misconstrued at times as a “civil war.” That is even more true of our War for Southern Independence, which was also a war of secession (fought for withdrawal from the United States, not dominion over them). The War for Southern Independence was no more a “civil war” than was our Revolutionary War...

The American civil war was a war of Yankee aggression...

That in the American civil war, it was George Washington who became military leader ….

Don't stop him, he's on a roll.

I want to be a warrant officer this time.

This time I wish to be a sniper.

Seriously though, the Muslims had to be driven from the mainland of western Europe back in the 7th Century, led by Charles Martel and funded by Pope Urban.

Muslims are making the same mistakes today - refusing to be assimilated into societies, killing innocents, speaking of spreading Islam by the sword again.

Muslims lack intelligence to see that they are making their kind a target once again. They did not learn the lesson last time so the "West" will have to teach them again. They just cannot see that their god is weak beside the Christian God.

The sooner, the better.

Rather than gun clubs, I would suggest bomb clubs would be a good choice.

On a designated Friday, the simultaneous bombing of perhaps 50 French mosques would light the fire to start the civil war. At the end of the day on that friday, every Frenchman would have to decide.....me or them

From a European prospective the revolutionary war would also be a civil war. British subjects fighting British subjects and the British Military. Just my guess...

It was a war of people against their own government. That’s pretty much a definition of “civil war”. On this side of the Atlantic, we like to see it as revolution, but the government in Britain, the country we were a part of, didn’t change. Our side seceded successfully.

One of many problems with such Euro gun clubs is that they have membership lists.

“The American civil war was a war of Yankee aggression...”

It was a war of Southern Democrat treachery. They lost the election of 1860 and had a hissy fit.

Some historians look at the American Revolution as an extension of the series of English Civil Wars that had been going on for centuries.

Not initially. There were many in the Continental Congress who were looking for a way out short of war. Events outpaced those deliberations. Soon there wasn’t any choice at all. Only John Dickenson continued to oppose the war when it came to a vote.

With a pretty heavy German mercenary component.

The communists wanted to win Europe with PC sympathy for Muslims and thereby bring it down because their spiritual homeland USSR was brought down. This is my theory: Merchal was an ex communist for East Germany and she brought down down all Germany, in fact, all Europe. It’s self destructive nihilism pure and simple.
