The North invaded them because they were an economic threat to the Robber Baron class that ran New York and Washington DC, and which still runs New York and Washington DC today.
Our enemies, the enemies of all conservatives are the big city tax and spend liberal who want us to pay the bills for their excessive government which does not benefit we taxpayers very much at all.

Our nation is controlled by New York and Washington DC, and the news is liberal because this elects Liberal politicians which make sure all that big spending money funnels through all the right hands in New York City and Washington DC.
They are our rulers, and they fancy themselves our aristocrats, and they have fooled people like you.
Oh shut up. For crying out loud, the war ended 154 freakin’ years ago. Your side lost. Get over it.
We will all grow old and die waiting for you to do that.
