Well - The nation couldn’t be any worse off if that had happened.
Oh, GASP. THE HORROR !!!
Hmmm, this son of immigrants that came to America long after the War Between The States wishes the South had won.
Trump should come on stage with a Confederate battle flag. BOOM!
Good, this should help Trump sweep the South. GO TRUMP GO
“Seventy percent of Trump backers also believe that the Confederate battle flag should still be flying over their state capitol.”
but but New York values ..
560,000 young men dead, 600,000 Missing in action, and for what, “Blacks lives matter”?
Northerners...
Try the same questions in Texas.
One of the things that I appreciate about Trump is that he does not try to denigrate my culture, my kin, and my region. That is one of the reasons I found the “New York values” smear to repugnant, having been so often vilified the same way.

I am no southerner and I understand the sentiment. Have absolutely no use for the northeast US either. Growing up in the west can do that.
Ridiculous poll, considering that Trump is not, nor has ever claimed to be, a southerner.
38% [or more] of the general population of SC probably would say they wished the south had won.
OK, I’m not backing Trump, but who runs such a poll and why? The answers are obvious.
There are many things that WOULD be different and perhaps better had the South cessation succeeded, especially if it had done so without a fight.
Had Lincoln allowed the South to split, we would have had two countries for awhile, maybe forever, but we would have remained closely tied. The “United States are...” would have remained the rule of the republic, and states rights would have prevailed.
The heinous practice of slavery would have continued in the South for perhaps another 20 years, but then it would have had to come to an end. The United States and the Confederation would have likely stayed out of WWI and after the termination of slavery, the two would likely have come back together before WWI.
Germany would have likely terminated WWI on far more favorable terms, meaning Bolshevik Russia and NAZI fascism might have never existed.
What we do know is that after the Union victory, state’s rights because non-existent and Southern blacks continued to live as less than equal citizens for 100 years.
I’m no Trump fan, but the reason for this result is that about 9 in 10 Trump supporters answer poll questions in a manner specifically calculated to offend the question. They’re mini-Trumps; they answer that way for the lulz.

Anyone who finds this disturbing or surprising has not spent time in the south. Try having a hint of a New York accent there
Total BS. I dont support Trump, but most of his supporters I know are northerners.
Me too!
