Lincoln himself stood up on the fort and looked out on them
yet no one did it
That will always be the Paradox
certainly would have saved lots of lives
Thats what always makes me mad about that whole business
Secession was a mistake, the Confederacy was a mistake. The Virginia milita could have captured Washington right after the Election
shot everyone and took over
Easy
kept ownership of the United States
and no one would have been able to stop them
The Confederacy was sadly the worst solution but it was the only one the Conservatives would approve
You ever been to Anteitem?
I been to Frederiskburg
was by Sharpsburg but we didnt go to the battlefield
When I was a kid, my boy scout troop would set up a plot of luminaries every year in the memorial thing they did at Anteitem
one lit bag for every soldier killed on a 10 foot square grid
rolling hills filled with lit candles
Do u understand what i mean
The KGC did at first approve the idea of a Coup
I do get you, and agree
It's starting in Australia now...
damnit why didnt we finish the job tasmania started
the point i was getting at was seeing a visual representation of the number of men that died still has an effect on me
Like i have always said the Conservatives screwed the South
I really wish it had gone down differently
They werent Revolutionaries
and ddint think like Revolutionaries
Because they didnt think like Revolutionaries
they couldnt understand the idea of murdering everyone and taking power
by simple Might makes RIght
Certainly would have resulted far fewer good men being killed
General Bradley T Johnson of Maryland said the same thing
he said the Conservatives held the Maryland Legislature and screwed everyone over
maryland's reluctance to take a side was a problem
The problem was that the secession party probably would have won the 1861 elections
or would have had a plurality at the most
They wanted to not get involved and that was the worst choice
