Very interesting idea that the average Joe was much more attached to his state than the country at the time.

That still goes on today to some extent and we have planes to take us to other states in no time and the internet and cell phones to contact people all over the US very easily.

And news updating us on what’s going on in other states.

And it is true that the south didn’t plan to take over the north. Which kind of kills the traitor part.

Staten Island wanted desperately to secede from the four other boroughs. It wouldn’t come to that because we don’t have the numbers, but i think some would have fought to get away from the other disgusting boroughs (not all parts)

Imagine how willing to fight one must be if their state’s freedom is threatened.

Also, the north should have taken a good long look at how it treated immigrants off the boat.

The Irish ghettos were disgusting and they were treated like garbage.

They weren’t slaves but they lived in terrible squalor.

The north wasn’t Too Upset about that.

And you could buy your way out of the draft for 300 bucks.

So the north didn’t have the high ground.

The south just didn’t have enough men or artillery as industrial production was much more active in the north.

Or the south would have won.

By the way, i LOVE Bette Davis but the movie Jezebel was a leftist, biased “woke” before it’s time, movie.

With Henry Fonda playing the northern hero.

Figures.
