It is tough to say what woudl have happened if things had been different in the civil war. [/quote] I yeah, I know. It is tough. Speculation always remains speculation. But I also think hindsight is 20/20. Knowing what I know about the Confederate Movement, it desired to preserve the "homeland" socio-political system. Those men, by and large, were fighting for their HOME COUNTRY! Their LAND, their HOMES, their families, their livelihoods, their LIBERTY! The north faught because the Queen of the Ant Colony told them to. Which was nobler? Which was holier? Which was more "American?" On a side note, anyone who is interested can delve into the Congressional archives, and you will find, tucked away somewhere, a single letter. It was a letter written by Karl Marx to President Abraham Lincoln. In the letter, Karl Marx congratulates President Lincoln for keeping the United States undivided. Why? Because, says Marx, only a UNITED States of America can be introduced to COMMUNISM.
