[M. Espinola]

"But there was no war in 1860 when the secession started. There was no destruction of the Constitution, no attack on the liberties of any state. Only an election result that some people didn't like."

Very true.

The election of Carter for one agonizing term (America Held Hostage) and the Clinton's two scandal ridden terms inflicted enormous damage to this country, and yet there was not an attempt to create a civil war, as they was after the public decided the election of 1860.

Well, for one, Clinton or Carter's party didn't decide to destroy our way of life.......(at least not entirely)

Slaves were an expensive investment.
