The South is a lot better armed this time. We also have all the fighting men and our women are pretty tough, too.

Not that our Confederate fathers and mothers weren’t, but they really had no industry. That is a telling difference and why we carpet-bombed industrial cities in Germany and Japan during WW II. Sooner or later, that level of one-sided destruction catches up with the other side’s production.

Now, thing is, I’m pretty sure NC, where I live, is now so purple that it would twist itself into a political pretzel trying to decide what to do, even though we have the largest Army base in the nation, as well as Camp Lejeune. You’d think that would pretty much settle the question, but the other thing is, I’m pretty sure the military is going to really consider whether to join a seccession or not. An oath to preserve and protect the Constitution is taken very seriously in these parts.

For myself, I’ve taken an oath never to countenance disloyalty or rebellion. So you know where I would have to stand, short of open imposition of tyranny. Then, bets would be off.
