So y'all are in favour of Dixies I assume?
Who?
Like the paper cups?
Wut
Confederates
Complicated
The Union was *kind of* in the right, but their motive was wrong
Also, industrialization was coming quickly
Is not ending slavery a right motive?
It actually was about slavery, but not about the South
For the price of state rights and liberty? complicated. But I don't see how ending slavery was not a right motive.
I am wheezing
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) The war was over whether to allow the terrirtories to the west to have slavery

Politically, they kind of gave up trying to stop the south from having slaves
Humph makes sense since most northerners were of the opinion that them southerners are all so nice but they keep slaves, weird.
The north was also industrialized, while the south was all rural farming communities
Yeah 'family pride' kicks in.
IMO, we should have done nothing, and let the South switch over to farm equipment like they would have eventually
And then banned slavery a little later
they say brother fought brother in the civil war though
A lot of the southerners were conscripted via Militia membership
True I'd not have intervened either
Yeah and they were veterans of the Mexican war
All of them.
Mexican war was 40 years later
Wait were they not fighting the Mexicans a year ago.
leme check
You're correct
mexican war was a couple decades previous
This whole shooting is too funny
The whole script has been flipped
Looking back, a LOT of our military engagements were illegal and stupid in hindsight
spanish-american war was total bs tho
it was the original WMDs
THAT'S what I was thinking of
Yeah but I would not certainly say the civil war was stupid
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) Look at how close we were to industrialization
