It was a cause of the war, but certainly not the only cause
Or are you worried the truth hurts.

Are you proud of eating an egg whole and spitting it out imitating a pimple?...such lofty goals....*****!!
Look for the Confederate Navy Jack next to their name. Those losers still can't get over losing the war, losers
Originally posted by PocketKingsThe Eagles suck!! I lived in Cape May, NJ for 4 years, and every summer you "shoobies" would come "down to the shore" with your Philly accent, buy up all of the property, and just "snob" around town. I couldn't wait until labor day when most of you idiots headed back to that "crack-den" called Philtydelphia....talk about a "loser" city....
Study history first, then find out who you are talking to. Until then try not to make yourself look stupid. traitor
Originally posted by PocketKingsThe Civil War was the "second war of independence", just as the colonialists broke away from England during the first war of independence. We're we traitors for doing that? I think the the North would have crumbled without the South if the South had won its independence...
You should take that back and say you were kidding. American History is so short and so many people have it all messed up in their heads. It was about states rights (national gov vs. state) and the southern states thinking they had no say in anything, which is how voting goes in this country sometimes still. And ofcourse slavery was another big issue. Yo ...[text shortened]... land. And I'm not kidding. And Jefferson Davis was the worst president of a fake nation ever.
Originally posted by PocketKingsWe didn't "crawl" back either did we? Yet, you carpetbaggers slithered down to Dixie and robbed and plundered what ever they could get their grubby little hands on....1860s pimps is what they were....the pride of the North.
It was Grants plan to end the war, the idea of "Total War". In the past war was restricted to just between soldiers, not anymore. Grant ordered everything destroyed, that nothing be left for Lee's army or for the civilians. Food, barns, livestock, equipment, railroads, homes, bridges, factories, anything that could be used or eaten was burned. I think it ...[text shortened]... people wanted to punish the South, it was Lincoln who wanted to welcome them back as citizens
Originally posted by IM4Y2NVThats what Hollyweird wants you to think, so you can curse the Confederate Battle Flag for what "they", and the media, say it was: a symbol of hate. Read some good History books by some good authors, but make sure you don't read one by Al Franken or George Clooney.....
The movie Amistad I recently watched on HBO seemed to lead one to believe that slavery was the spark of the civil war.
Originally posted by rowpcYou're seraching for family members by that name? Try the white pages. Good sites in either state? For beauty, Texas has Virginia beat, except in the Fall, when Virginia's leaves turn color. Atlanta is huge-5,000,000 metro. The people in the south are generally the friendliest in all of America, and I should know as I've lived from Miami to Rhode Island, New Jersey to Alabama and now California. California has the best weather. Hope I helped.

Originally posted by chancremechanicLike I said, get over it. I'm a history teacher dumba$$. If you really need to know what a confederate navy jack looks like try americancivilwar.com and go to Flags of the Confederacy. You guys were even to stupid to make your own flag, your first flag looks so much like our flag that it caused mass confusion on the battlefield.

It is very obvious from your posts that you are still bitter, you shouldn't have tried to leave the union, tsk,tsk,tsk. Second war of independence, give me a break.
Originally posted by IM4Y2NVSlavery played a minor role in the Civil War! It was about state's rights, it was just slavery! The Civil War had been brewing for 20 or 30 years before it happened! There were several incidents that led to the Civil War but it was completely about state's rights!
