    Questions about the Civil War

    OK, these questions have been knawing at me. 1) Why did the citizens of the North tolerate the bloody civil war? 2) Why is President Lincoln hailed as a great war leader, but not President James Madison? FACTS TO CONSIDER 1) Madison suffered one severe loss, the burning of Washington, which...

    Lincoln, Civil War, KKK, Blowback

    Sorry if this is common knowledge, but has Ron Paul ever insinuated that the Civil War gave rise to the KKK much like modern day American interventionist foreign policy gives rise to terrorist extremists around the world? Ron Paul has been given some flak for being critical of Lincoln and the...

    Real reasons for the Civil War:

    This is well-reasoned document concerning the reasons the Civil War occurred. Many people think the Civil War of 1860-1865 was fought over one issue alone, slavery. Nothing could actually be further from the truth. The War Between the States began because the South demanded States' rights and...

    American Civil War Question

Did the remaining states make a decision to reign...

    Why dwell on the damned civil war?

    What the hell is up? What is this bizarre fascination with Ron Paul's views on the civil war? I can understand if he was saying stuff like "Slavery was good," or, "Let's bring back slavery," but the MSM is treating it like he did. What is so hard to understand about the fact that slavery could...
