To: Josef Stalin
The War was mainly fought to reverse the roles, as the Federal government wished to become the master.

The federal government was always the master. George Washington suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion with 13,000 militia men. Two of the ring leaders were convicted of treason against the United States. That was 1794.

Your statements are not supported by the record.

I mentioned this the other day. Under the Articles, the last navy ship was sold in 1785. The Marine Corps was disbanded, the army was near mutiny; the government was flat broke. Yet in 1794,(the fourth year of the operation of the Constitution) the government was able to fund six fine warships, including the U.S.S. Constitution, United States and President. They were finished in the late 1790's. The Marine Corps was re-established in 1798 (whew!). Are you getting the picture? The Constitution, even from the earliest days, has provided us with safety and security.

You are ignorant of the record, or would hide the "immense value" of the national Union, to use Washington's words.

Sorry, Joe. We have free speech in this country. The disinformation techniques you used so successfully back in the USSR won't work here.
