Poll on the Civil War

[Bottom Feeder]

Goldhedge’s thread on the south’s succession made me curious as to what GIM members thought. So I thought I’d have a go at another poll.

Here's the thing ... this wasn't a big subject in my Canucki schooling. My first real exposure to it was when I drove down to Atlanta and stayed at a camp ground at Stone Mountain. What I got from the local people was state authority. I'm assuming they'd have more of a handle on the details as their grandparents were the ones doing it .. and not just absorbing what the victors wrote in a history book.

Exactly correct - history is written by the winners.

Oh Damn! — I'm sorry, nic. I was just caught up in the wording of Goldhedge’s post.

Oh, and today in America we have over 500,000 elected officials ....that's a whole lot of potential tyrants.

My opinion, they seceded over states rights and the north (Lincoln, et al) knew there was a lot of sentiment for abolition, so they used that as an excuse to go to war. The result, abolition and more federal authority.
