Today, everyones liberty and rights are subserviant to the federal governments.

Much more to do with Roosevelt, but nonetheless, evil things flowing out of the civil war rest on the secessionists, just as the deaths of innocents in Iraq rest on Saddam's shoulders.

I'll cheer when Saddam bites the big one. It remains sad that innocents will perish because of him.

We lost innocents, wealth, and freedoms because of the South's love affair with slavery. But it all rests on their shoulders.

"We lost innocents, wealth, and freedoms because of the South..."

The South did not seek a war with you. They did not seek to rule the North, hence; is was not a "Civil War". The South merely wanted to be left alone(despite your urgent desire to rewrite).

The innocents, wealth, and freedoms you "lost" were of your own choosing, and creation.....then as well as those we continue to lose today.

If we so disgust & shame you, why demand that we stay together? Do you not feel "United" with me?

Why did the North introduce slavery to the South?

If the war was about slavery, why did the North maintain their slaves after those in the South were free? The war was about slavery...right?

Why continue the deceptive labels, such as "Civil War" & "United States"?

Please continue to ignore any questions that you feel uncomfortable with.
