Well, I'm no more pro-North than you are pro-South.
The only difference is that I'm pro-the-winning-side while you're pro-a-bunch-of-losers.
As for comparing Araby with the South: didn't they both engage in slavery and both subscribe to an honor/shame culture?
And of course as Greenberg pointed out, they have both constructed a mythos about their history which is more fantasy than fact.
How quick you forget that the U.S. supported slavery for almost 90 years. Also, the founders of this nation, whether they liked it or not, also signed off on slavery when they sign they signed the Constitution (look un the 3/5 vote for a slave).
And not much have really changed, the country still has slaves, only we don't them slaves. They are either in the URBAN slums, harvesting votes or in the sweatshops.
And here is the true irony of the situation, this country is falling apart because of the socialism that Abe himself started the ball rolling on a little under 130 years ago.

It is true poetic justice.
