cannons[sic] firingWhy did the author indicate 'cannons' was a misspelling? It's perfectly standard.

Arrogant Southern slave owners and the inhuman social system set up to maintain its false reality could not abide by the the coming end of their feudalistic system. They brought the Civil war on themselves. Rewriting history cannot rewrite the truth.

"The Erie Canal was constructed with state funding. Measuring 363 miles and connecting New York City with the Great Lakes, it was completed on October 26, 1825. The Canal extended from Albany to Buffalo. "
Economically the North won the war in 1825.
If Virginia had built the Kanawha canal to it's old terrirtories in the west- like every one of it's great men told it to- there would never have been a war. Well, South Carolina might have left on it's own I suppose.

The Republicans who came to power in 1860 supported a mercantilist economic agenda of protectionism, inflation, public works, and big government. High tariffs would have been a boon to manufacturing and mining in the north, but would have been paid largely by those in the export-oriented agriculture economy. Perhaps the strategy was to use economic weapons to crush the south's unfair edge in the marketplace -- slave labor.

My lord. Whenever I begin to read these Civil War threads (139 years now guys, get over it), I always hear "Dueling Banjoes" in my head when I hear the rebel apologists play make-believe soldier.
