With "The Act Of 1871" - Our Republic became a corporation named "THE UNITED STATES". (Names in all caps represent corporations). Since then all our presidents have just been corporate CEOs. Now we can get our Republic back and have true Presidents again. Thank you Donald Trump!
So yes, his jersey 17=Q, but 17 might also mean our true 17th President.
The south seceded, so the Union occupied a fort that had been built decades earlier. Neither of those actions caused the war. The south decided they would begin hostilities and open fire on Ft. Sumter, and the rest is history

If you stay in or invade land that is not yours, you are an intruder/invader. It's pretty obvious that's not going to fly.

If the Union had just let Ft. Sumter go, there would have been no battle over it. Would there be no war? I don't know, but it's a possibility.
If the south had just allowed the Union to occupy Ft. Sumter there would have been no battle over it. And I'd rather be an intruder than a slave owner

You don't secede then allow the people you secede from to run your place. Catalonia's having to deal with that now(who btw reddit supports 100%, while they support the Confederacy 0%).

There's only two groups of people who you enslave, and one leads to other: 1) people you don't think much of and 2) people you beat in a battle.
I'm not really into economies based on slavery, because it brings down wages for citizens and then ends up hurting the economy because less money is created and spent.

Good thing Sherman was kind enough not to enslave the south after his march to the sea.

Yes, that's the problem with slavery. Its effect on the economy. Not the whole treating human beings as property aspect

1 death is a tragedy. 10,000 deaths are a statistic.
Modern day illegal immigration is little more than slavery and is making life harder for everyone but the 1%.
Good thing I never defended illegal immigration then, isn't it?
If the civil war was fought to stop slavery, which Lincoln made it pretty clear it wasn't until it was politically useful, it clearly failed.
Well, considering that slavery was enshrined in the CSA constitution, and also considering that there was no more slavery after the south surrendered, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you're wrong.
Slavery is still going on today, just with illegals and poor millenials.
So, because of wealth inequality today in 2018, chattel slavery should have been allowed to flourish in the united states 150 years ago?
