Judging by the ubiquitous LOLs that populate your posts, I can only imagine that you graduated with high honors from the Laughing Academy.
Oh so kinda like Taliban "Don't ask, Don't tell". Don't ask for succession and we'll kick you out. Ask for succession and we'll kill you instead. Yeah makes perfect loser liberal revisionist history.
Actually, I don't think that anyone alive today was around back then so as to NEED to recover. You know, kinda like slavery??? LOL!!!
You really don't understand generational shame and the inheritance of it, do you? The southern man knows their ancestors were beaten down and were forced to bend over and surrender...it's their legacy. This broken spirit mentality is passed from one generation to the next...which is one of the reasons they are so rebellious to this day...then knew they are the spawn of a failed rebellion... That's why they try to change history at every chance they get, they replay the embedded generational memory in their consciousness and sub consciousness throughout their life...
Perhaps winning a war to escape a distant tyranny of centralized power only to be enslaved by another one 3000 miles closer and less than 100 yrs later is not missed by everyone.
It is actually a shame that Lincoln didn't either put the Confederate traitors on a reservation, sell them into slavery, or let them rot in prison for the rest of their lives... Lincoln, being a humanitarian felt pity for the losers...
Men working to get oil so we can help break from the middle east. And 11 of them are dead at the bottom of the Gulf. You are a sick muther f*cker....You go to hell you prick.
