The US Civil War is a subject of great interest to me. An example of a tyranny imposing its view on a section of its enormous country that simply wanted to preserve their way of life by forming a separate country. Step forward Ukraine, Bosnia, Georgia etc. And the USA labels Russia!!
Some of THE greatest Generals ever were Confederates, with Stonewall Jackson possibly THE greatest military leader of the last 200 years.
So, yes, I have an interest.
And, PLEASE, don't bring slavery into it.

absolutely. Just feel that this is an arbitrary decision, and Badge's friends can voice their feeling that it is unfair.
Just a question ~ he is 'banned' for a week, I understand. Will he get a week of his payment back?
I know that it will be of little interest to you, or anyone else, but such dictatorship has convinced me NOT to renew in April.
Hardly a great way to run a business

Don't you dare call out people in the Clans forum after you yourself use it to shield yourself from judgement. You've been hiding behind this concept that the Clans forum is for "taunting, goading or ridiculing rival clans" for your many years' worth of drivel posts in that forum. Using any posts there to denigrate anyone is highly hypocritical.
Not to ...[text shortened]... is racism, which is what got him busted in the first place. Go ahead. Just try to defend that.

Stupidity?

That an entire class of privileged whites can be SO racist that they didn't even classify blacks as being human is what it was all about. That they had such a love of money that they didn't think twice about subjugating an entire race of people to make sure their money kept rolling in, is what is despicable about the American South.
If that is what your "way of life" is about, then it deserves to get 'disrupted'. What people like John Wilkes Booth didn't understand is that by killing President Lincoln, he was delaying the recovery of his beloved South for a hundred years.

It's impossible not to bring slavery into it. What books have you read about events leading up to the war?
a) Do you think that the war started in 1861 because The North wanted to 'free the slaves' of The South?
b) Or did they bring slavery into the equation around 2 years later when things didnt look so good?
If you wish to debate I have facts/arguments/references a plenty. Leave it up to you

So I will just say to you, spouting the typical Yankee propaganda is this
'if the South had won the War, do you really think they would be using blacks as slaves now' ??
