[quote=Jim1611]Just how do you think a divided country and secession would have worked itself out?
Considering the state of our country now and its history since 1861 I doubt it could have been much worse.
What's the difference between 1861 and now?
Where do I start? How about 33 TRILLION in debt, 2 world wars, several foreign military conflicts, a large government dependent population, sexual perversion protected by law, free in migration of savages, a government run by central bankers, our tax money being donated to foreign countries to be laundered back to politicians.
After I drink another cup or two of coffee I'll think of more.
