I can say this about the Civil War. The government at that time, ran by Lincoln sent it's army into a state over reasons that have been debated since that day. That state fought back. Fast forward to today. When and if the president of whatever time uses armed forces against it's own citizens there will already be a propaganda play book in use to make it so all the blame falls on the side that opposes the federal government. You can bank on that. They will produce their "Emancipation Proclamation" to sanctify their cause. Yep. I’m sure they’ve already working on it. Biden’s already threatened us with Nukes and F-15’s.

I have pondered this. I know sectional differences had simmered for a long time...it puzzles me why so many would oppose a separate country and die to prevent it.... giving your life to keep the nation united
I also believe that few Northern whites opposed slavery on moral grounds... the phrase in the Battle Hymn of the Republic "let us die to make men free" is enigmatic. This will NEVER happen! In fact they are getting ready to appoint ONE king over the entire world and we will have a one world government

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Yankee isn’t strictly a geographic term. It can be, but it is a bit more specific than that. Though it would be true to state that since slightly before the Civil War and mostly since, Yankees have hijacked the national government, set policy, and determined what is and isn’t “American”. “Yankee” means whatever a person wants it to mean. Same as n—-er. “Texan” on the other hand… LOL Nope, Yankee is actually a fairly specific historical term. It’s probably 300 years old at least. OK

The south didnt fight a war to keep slaves. They fought because they were attacked. They simply fought back. I've read most of the declarations of independence published by each of the southers states. Preserving slavery was mentioned as the prime cause of their secession. I don't recallany mention of being attacked. You have two different subjects. Secession is one fighting is the other. The south was attacked by the north. The south fought back. That's a good point about two different subjects, now that you mention it. The Southern states actually wanted to secede peacefully and maintain relations with the North. They were willing to pay cash for Ft. Sumter et al. Lincoln would not allow that because what would happen if later Texas wanted to secede from the CSA or New England wanted to secede from the USA? Our country would have dissolved. Is secession legal? Nothing in the Constitution prevents it. No court has ever ruled on whether it is or not. California almost seceded in 1861. Their thought was to remain neutral. Kentucky declared neutrality but the South overreached a bit and invaded Kentucky. Maryland wanted to secede but northern troops prevented them.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I don't recallany mention of being attacked. No you haven’t, or you wouldn’t say that. Why then we'll have to disagree. As to why northern boys would enlist to fight the war, I have asked that question about my two great great grandfathers. Picture yourself as an Ohio farm boy. Your life is pretty boring. Your life is all laid out. You've never met a Southerner but heard bad things about them. Suddenly, they want to leave your country. Isn't that good? Why try to stop them? Well, a local politician appoints himself a Colonel and raises a regiment. Aha, a chance for some excitement. To see the world. Spiffy uniforms. An enlistment bonus in cash. And everyone knows it'll be over by Christmas. This is your last--and maybe--only chance. Besides everyone's doing it. Danger? No, glory. One big battle and the Rebs will all run away like dogs....won't they? The same sort of ferver infected the boys of hte European powers at the start of World War I. The "fine print" in the contract said it was a 3-year enlistment. At the end of that time neither one re-enlisted, even though the war was not yet over. It’s not a matter of disagreement, it’s a matter of you being wrong. Could be but please read the Georgia Declaration of Independence (and others) that Birdwatcher posted about a page after my post.

The last American Civil War was about taxation and (lack of) representation. You are seeing it again.
