Can't I just go steal all the women and booze while others are out fighting?

Where are my Roundhead and Cavalier options? DANG IT I CAME HERE TO POST THAT!!!! My family was (and still is) from Kent, so I guess there is a number of rebellions I can choose from. But since we're talking about the American Civil War, I would fight against revisionist history

Seeing as how it turned out I think I'd rather see what would have happened the other way around. "Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand. " –– General Robert E. Lee to Governor Stockdale of Texas

My ancesters fought for the South, so would have I. Slavery was on its way out, so it would have been gone no matter who won. I'd be damned if I would have been a Democrat though.

Yes, it was about slavery and states' rights was a PC vaneer to slap on it. Read the secession papers for many of the southern states, it was very much about slavery. An instituion that pre-dates the United States, was brought here before there was a United States, was specifically removed from any federal authority over it within the States, and over which the Federal governemnt had no say. A Federal governemnt overstepping its bounds is indeed a State's Rights issue - the States made the Fed, not the other way around. |

Save the union or state soveriegnty? It'd be a tough call. I believe in States' rights, to include that of secession, if justified. But my State did side with the Union (even though there were Californian units that fought for the Confederacy; there's still some strong pro-Confederate sentiment in parts of SoCal). |

There were more slaves in the South in 1860 than ever before. Slavery was expanding at an exponential rate and when the Federal government tried to restrict it to certain states the South fought and caused the deaths of over 800,000 Americans. Sure had a funny way of being "on the way out"
