I would also like to add to my previous post, the two independent unions would have been one in most conflicts.

Brothers notwithstanding, when the Great Britain and the colonies separated they fought one more war, nearly fought several others, and didn't fight on the same side for over 130 years.

So what is the point?
They were an ocean away and we really, really hated them.
Do you hate all southrons?
There would have been conflicts and there might still be conflicts. But it's not like we aren't killing more folks per capita than any other nation anyway.
While it is hip and cool to bash the southern accent and way of life, does anyone really think the northern, Rosie-type accent sounds any more intelligent?
You'se guys can kiss my *ss.
