Complain all you want but as screwed up as we are as a country we would be a disaster for the last 150 years as a fractionalized groups of country states.


South continues to bitch or the North continues to remind us? I think it is the latter quite frankly.


In my experience, most Northerners don't feel any particular attachment to the American Civil War and, if they do, it isn't nearly as strong an attachment as some Southerners continue to feel.


I don't hear the Civil war mentioned much by southerners. I do hear about refugees from the northern states spending a good part of their days telling us how great it was living up there. My response to them is WTF did you move down here then?

For the record I am a transplanted Yankee who unfortunately lived up there for 27 years . I love the northeast just not the people.
