Every time someone brings up the subject of the Yankee War of Agression. Instead of piling on, please consider the following: a) there is NO slavery anymore; b) the South is the new manufacturing center of the country; c) the South is more heavily armed than the Yankee north and d) Acirema is too damn big and divided to be governed efficiently.
I think you're not considering the rural areas. Our struggle is rural vs urban, not north and south.
