Isn't secession of the left and the right more likely, leaving a poverty-stricken maga?

The Civil War was made necessary when the South seceded. The Civil War was necessary to eradicate slavery from this continent. What was unnecessary was appeasement. Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis should have been apprehended at Appomattox and Richmond, tried for treason and brought before a firing squad. There would be no obstacle to a more perfect union if the United States had not let southerners rewrite history. Lincoln probably wouldn't have been assassinated. The Civil War was very necessary, they should have finished the job.

As always history repeat itself with new faces, same old bodies!!!

Where would the "snowbirds" go in the winter, southern Ohio?

Yes, he Civil War was unnecessary. But, the Confederacy forced it on the Union when its forces attacked Fort Sumter without provocation.

Second, Lincoln was always against slavery. The reason that h did not issue an emancipation proclamation earlier was that he hoped to be able to draw the South into negotiations to end the war. When it became obvious that would not work, he acted.

Third, I grew up in the racist deep south. But, I do not want them to secede today. I want our society to force the people of the south to realize just how destructive and retarding their beliefs are.
