Well if people only want to include the last 30 years then they need to say so. That wasn't the original argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok...I'll buy that. The level of divisiveness today can't even touch what was brewing "just before" the Civil War. You lack perspective.

Zambroski Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The south could have continues their way of life for probably another decade if they would have stopped shooting their mouths off. Slavery was a dying campaign in the world and they knew it. Their idea to fight the union on the pro-slavery platform was suicide. And an idiotic one at that. Southerners are still ass-backwards about the whole thing today. Comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about it. It was essentially a contest on who could get more states in their corner for the day when a constitutional amendment to ban slavery came up. The South was working against time.
