[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 921416, member: 694"] TB I respectfully disagree the South got it's ass handed to them. They started with less men and didn't have the factories to produce the means and inflicted more casulaties. The South flat out fought the north they just couldn't resupply the troops. The Union started out with a 2 to 1 superiority and when the war ended it was 3 to 1. The South screwed up in taking up a defensive stance rather than invading until it was to late and the Northern War Machine was in full capacity. The South had no desire to invade or rule the Northern States as they did the Southern. A 150 years later this is still a bitter and emotional subject to many today. I can understand state's wanting to leave the Union as the Federal government has grown way past it's constitutional powers. I am not advocating it I can understand. The Federal government no longer represent's the people it represent's a few major population center's. This is a major flaw in the electoral college in winner take all on the state. One major city can hand all the electoral votes to a canidate while the rest of the state congessional district's voted for the other canidate. There is a division in this country and it is growing I have no clue to the answer. History has a way of repeating itself. [/QUOTE]
