    If the U.S civil war had not occurred...

    what do you think would have happened to America?

    Would our technology be as advanced as it is now?

    Would we have freedom and liberty?

    America would been a better country we wouldnt have a reccesson both in 1930s and now. We still have all these hi tech stuff. We would still be watching an all white MLB Baseball,,Dodgers would still be in Brookyln and Colts would still be in Baltimore Plus all white NFL and an all white NBA. And Tiger Woods would been picking cotton with his daddy. And we all could own a slave or two.

    perhaps better in the CSA, not so much in the union

    The American South was based on an economic system which was outdated by the 1860s as the plantation system had been abolished all across the British Empire but the cotton industry back then was more important than the auto industry today and it was not easy to let go of the peculiar institution just because it was a politically correct thing to do and Britain backed the South to ensure the steady flow of cotton from the US and the racial integration in the South would have happened anyway more naturally, had it not been for the Civil War.

    I don't get that. I think the war of 1812 decided the red area.

    There were only 13 original states that seceded. I am pretty sure California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri were not included in that thirteen.

    And, for one thing, if the Constitution had been followed then, the Civil War would not have been fought and regardless of who won, if the Constitution had been followed today, we would not have illegals or liberals today.

    Yes the War of Norther aggression against inbred racist hicks who felt that Freedom was Enslaving others for Profit. A war Fought because your little pathetic south can't handle losing a Election without crying about leaving the US..The only thing the North did wrong in the civil war , is when we burned Atalanta...we did not burn the rest of the south with it.
