Bad Points

Trump is not perfect by far. His understanding of Liberty and the Constitution is rudimentary at best. He is neither conservative nor liberal but Reform Party which is a amalgamated middle America confounded into a political platform circa 1990. 4. He is a bull in a china shop, a loose cannon on deck, and a cowboy with a burr up his chaps who will cause mayhem and destruction to his rivals wherever he goes.

Good Points

1. He is not merely anti-establishmentarian, but he is determined disestablishmentarian.

2. Compared to the alternative (Clinton) he is a godsend.

3. Some of the things he is doing is conducive to reviving Liberty. (Refer to Point 2.)

3. For years he has had to deal with agencies that will do anyone in for the slightest of mistakes -- IRS, FTC, SEC, and has had to keep squeaky clean. (Refer to Point 2)

4. He is a bull in a china shop, a loose cannon on deck, and a cowboy with a burr up his chaps who will cause mayhem and destruction to his rivals wherever he goes--he is going to Washington DC.

It was a secession war or revolt and the slavery became known as the "cause" of the war from the USA propaganda.Autonomy/Liberation was the cause of that revolt.

South was doomed from the start as it was rural-based and dependent on rural product trade.When USA(The "North") made an "embargo" with European superpowers (France),only the British tried to helped them but in the end they didn't.

The Republican Party had other more reasonable candidates.Also i wonder when 'Murica will end its two-party regime.

For both sides it was revolutionary (for one a change to national government for the other a change back to confederation). It was their methods which differed--quelling by occupation and triumph vs. secession by insurrection and victory.

The GOP was started as a loose coalition of radicals who sought closure to the predicament our Founders had put us in (delaying the end of Slavery for 70 years). There was going to be no reasoning with exerting Liberty and no reason to be reasonable regarding candidates. Moderate Whigs and Democrats were on the wrong side of history, morality, and humanity in supporting slavery but not necessarily secession.

For the South a big issue was the new tarrif which effectively killed the Southern economy. By the time the war started they ended up having to defend their region's way of life from martial assault (which included slavery as an institution.) Where the North went wrong was in using victory as an excuse to nationalize government in as many arenas as they could get away with.

Rateria, Fairbankska, Nay Hofn

Please forgive the mangled grammar in paragraph 3 Sentence 2. By the time the war started the South ended up having to defend their region's way of life (which included the institution of slavery) from martial assault.

For the North it was a cause and for core GOP (not the coat-tails who joined for political power) it was the cause for all of America--freeing the slaves. For the South slavery was incidental to defending their land, homes, and state from foreign aggression (and a 58% tariff on their exports). The Federal government is still legally a foreign agent when dealing in State affairs. The South was Constitutionally correct in form (Powers Reserved to the States and the People) but wrong in function (not letting slavery go) and the North vice versa (extending liberty to all men, and federal tyranny).

The Southern states declared their secession because they felt the election of Lincoln was a direct threat to the institution of slavery. They stated this repeatedly, and put in their constitutions that slavery could not be abolished. Of course the north waged the war to preserve the Union, and Lincoln only made it a moral crusade midway through the war, but nevertheless, the South seceded to preserve slavery, so the war was primarily about slavery.

And yes, Lincoln was by no means perfect, and had multiple authoritarian tendencies. He created an unconstitutional income tax, he imprisoned congressmen and he shut down newspapers. But he won the war and more importantly got rid of the most horrendously totalitarian aspect of life in history, slavery, which means he deserves to be remembered as a great President.

And if he had lived, he would have taken a harder line against the South and maybe prevented segregation from ever happening.

Of course the Civil War was partly due to slavery. States mentioned it in their secessions and it was an unalienable right in the Confederate constitution.

The only candidate that was better than Trump was Rand Paul, but honestly I don't think he has the energy or the charisma to take on Hillary in the general election, and would have likely allowed her to paint him as some sort of extremist. Of course, you could argue that it was a historical inevitability for the Republicans to capture the White House given the... "uneven" impact of Obama's policies, and the recent tendency for the electoral pendulum to swing back and forth. Still, Hillary was willing to do anything, including kill people, in order to become President. Rand just doesn't have that kind of tenacity. His father is a different story, but unfortunately he was cheated out of his shot at the presidency.

I do not disagree in the narrowest sense and most limited understanding of the issue. Those who held the cultural and political power in the nascent Confederacy were the Slave-lords. Those who gained the moral and political power in the North were the radical republicans (small r) in the Republican Party (capital R Republicans). My issue is reducing the argument to a Marxist Revisionism that it was merely was about slavery (as though the South had a choice the same as the North). I am trying to illustrate the vastly different meaning, emphasis, and context that Slavery meant to both sides.

It was so different as to be wholly other. Much like two people talking past each other; thinking they are communicating; but mean very different things from the same terms. With abolition the North heard, "Its time to fulfill the American Covenant and declare all men free." The South heard, "We are going to destroy your homes, your children, your economy, your ability to feed yourselves, and your very way of life." With secession the North heard, "Go to hell Yankee scum and take your "more perfect" Union with you. We will keep Slavery just to spite your face." The South heard, "We will defend ourselves from foreign aggressors, (remember each State and the state of the United States (Washington DC) are foreign entities to each other.) who are using abolition out of spite merely as an excuse to destroy us."

Before Idaho school systems were dumbed-down by Regressive Leftists, some taught the Civil War from three sides (North & South, and Canada (by extension British)), and we had access to AP classes from the Spanish/French/Mexican/Texas perspectives. The Civil War was complicated and complex. Reducing the War to a parody of itself as a tool for Politically Correct (Cultural Marxist) propagandist exploitation is what I truly despise. Yes, slavery was the cause célèbre and emblematic of that war, but not in the simplistic callow, and chimerical sense taught to promulgate hate and loathing for by both the most significant and tragic event for good cause that defines us as a People to this day.

It was arguably both the most significant and tragic event for good cause which defines us as a People to this day.

You're fine. Indeed, I think that existing tariffs in place before the Civil War certainly aggravated the differences between North and South, and made slavery far more important than it should have been. That's a big issue that's often overlooked.

You do realize that if they merge into us, they end up under our laws and traditions, right?

And for the record I have no idea which direction this merger is supposed to be. Logically it's them into us, since we just got through eating the IRU. Wouldn't make sense for us to then be eaten by a different region.

I am so happy to see our community opening our doors to citizens from other regions that want to make Libertatem their home. #mergeaway
