I feel like the history we're living through sheds a little light on the history I've read.  

The oversimplification of ...... "It was over slavery duh" is what we're living.


Years of building tensions over a multitude of issues that will undoubtedly boil over eventually.....    History may well pin it on 1 thing again, but I don't think that's the case.  If unrest broke out in the streets tomorrow,
no two people would have the exact same answer for why. The victors write the official history. We're fighting communists while they call us fascists..... In the end you vilify the other side however you need to.  

The lawlessness of our ruling class on both sides of the aisle has taken me down this path.  They treat our government as theatre & take turns stealing our livelihood & freedoms. It scares & saddens me, but  I want more for my son.  I don't doubt that many feel the way I do.


Only question left is which pin prick will be the last?

Will there be another Gavrilo Princip who can't possibly fathom the consequence of what he's done.

It wasn't about slavery, the American revolution and civil war were about economics and representation.

The South was being tariffed heavily by the North, which was also undermining the very foundation of their economy, cheap human labor.

With the North seeking to end slavery, the south was between a rock and a hard place.

These things never end well when men are backed into a corner.

In our current situation, we're going down the same path with the Green New Deal garbage and the existential threat it poses to the fossil fuel industries and everything that depends on them. The dems basically want to impoverish everyone so they can stay in control forever, lording over the remnants of our once great civilization.

They are usurpers and tyrants and the sooner we kick this thing off, the better.

it was about economics. once there were enough non-slave states in the union, and this was inevitable as america spread westward and territories were admitted into the union as states, it was only a matter of time until non-slave states outnumbered slaves states and slavery would be outlawed in congress, destroying the economic base of the agrarian south. so yes they were pushed into a corner and were sorely pissed off at the coming imposition that the rest of the country would impose on the south so they sought to leave before that happened.

folks on this forum are pissed mostly because they think the rest of the country is going to take their guns away. that and more government meddling in a citizens everyday life whilst imposing things lots of folks dont like. but the reality is, taking your guns away (assuming that happens and its a long shot) and a some progressive, liberal laws do not approach the level of having your entire economic basis for a region destroyed. but many folks are caught up in that black fantasy and they see the demise of trump as the sign of impending doom, which is actually pretty silly.

Public opinion is easily swayed by the media. I remember reading about Senator McCarthy's "witch hunt" for communists in the 50's. How it was a disgraceful period in our history etc. Looking at it today it appears Senator McCarthy may have been right all along.

Green new deal, 40% capital gains tax, raising corporate income tax to highest in the world, unlimited immigration, unfair trade agreements, and whatnot is not a fantasy.  It would be silly to think the economy would just blissfully roll along.

I've been waiting for this to come up.

You know those crazy Antifa kids who've been completely programmed with bull shit so long they have no idea what the truth is?
They aren't the first ones to get that treatment.

The Confederates are not who most of think, and this year they're getting the last laugh.
They fought against the one size fits all rule of a centralized power and have been turned into mythical monsters for it.
We've boomed entire countries for less than what Lincoln did to provoke South Carolina.



"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic.
The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered.
To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language"

With that said, it doesn’t take a large % to start a movement that changes history. What we have is more than enough if everyone keeps pushing and demanding answers and honest election results.

It was in reference to slavery and the civil war. Point being slavery didn't end with the civil war, there were people still in slavery such as the Chinese of California gold rush era.

I disagree....
I'm from Texas but I'm stuck in Seattle away from my family for work right now. Why might you ask?  Because open borders have made me nearly unemployable in my home state.  Wages are severely depressed and I don't Habla Espanol. Biden will exponentially
compound the problem.  So you think threatening peoples livelihood was enough reason for CW1 let me tell you the situation sounds pretty familiar for me & a bunch of guys who've had their industries outsourced & H1b'd.  The further you are from the border the less you've experienced this..... but your time is coming too if you work in any trade.

California had little if anything to do with the U.S. Civil War.

Read "Battle Cry of Freedom" if you want to read the best single-volume history of the Civil War.

And, yes, the Northern States were really fucking over the Southern States. Some of it was deserved, much of it was not.

I've always been curious about the south's jump to secession after Lincoln's election......before he even took any action.

I suddenly feel like I understand it more. Its like my level of frustration and anger build with every injustice.  That existential tipping point is just a little closer than normal.  The offending events happen so much more frequently that we no longer settle back to "normal" between them.  If the election stands our faith in a fair and just government might not.

I disagree....
I'm from Texas but I'm stuck in Seattle away from my family for work right now. Why might you ask?  Because open borders have made me nearly unemployable in my home state.  Wages are severely depressed and I don't Habla Espanol. Biden will exponentially
compound the problem.  So you think threatening peoples livelihood was enough reason for CW1 let me tell you the situation sounds pretty familiar for me & a bunch of guys who've had their industries outsourced & H1b'd.  The further you are from the border the less you've experienced this..... but your time is coming too if you work in any trade.
