Whooo boy. Batten down the hatches, the battle is about to begin.

States Rights vs. slavery.........This has going on forever as long as I've been here........

It's like dried out cow patties, why add water to dead poop unless you want to smell it again? And over time, it will just become dried out cow patties again..........

At this point in time, it ain't even worth discussing anymore.........

There is a new twist. I identify the 200 million dollars per year money that was at stake. If the South became independent, New York and Washington DC immediately lost 200 million dollars per year in income, and I point out that there would be even worse economic losses with each passing year.

If you've seen anything about this in past discussions, I would very much like it if you point me to them. I've never seen anyone else point this out besides me.

Here is a graphic showing indirectly how much money was at stake.

Notice all the money that would be lost is from New York?
