If the South had won, I believe the secession would have ended because the main issue was states rights. Because the Union won and strengthened the central government, you've got what we have today (and the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton and all others that feel they can dictate their liberal ideas into laws that affect everyday life of the people).

Who knows what would have happened, but its sure nice to think that the South had the right idea in believing what the Constitution stated about limited federal powers.

I can't say that I'm as optimistic about what the Confederates would have done had they won. Their government was pretty heavy-handed in pro-Union areas of the South. A federal tyranny is just as much a federal tyranny in Richmond as it is in Washington.

This is so ridiculus. Why would our government or any organization try to legislate what someone does or does not find offensive? I agree, to many this flag symbolizes hate, however they are wrong about the flag. I find rap music offensive and I truly believe rap music is more harmful to our society than a stupid flag. How come no one trys to ban rap music?
