RE: The New United States of America
Nice and enjoyed but as a Southern Gent myself, I have to disagree with the Southern Leaders comment. Maybe and more than likely they did believe as you stated but the Civil War was NOT, IMO and research, fought over slavery as we are taught but rather taxation and tariffs unfair to the south which would have, in essence, enslaved the southern people to the banks. Lincoln offered the south it's slaves, as I understand it, if only the South would "get on board" and pay. To my knowledge the history was written by the victors, as always, in a way to sell their side.
The war was fought over whether or not states can leave the union.
The disagreement was started due to slavery.
All taxes and tariffs point towards issue with slave labor giving the south an unfair market advantage and possibly voting advantage. You can't take our slavery for the reason for the taxation and tariffs. If you read the declaration of secession documents from the southern states, most if not all, claim that slavery was the main reason for secession.
Well I know opinions vary as well as the research individuals look into and I respect all but look into this as it somewhat sums up what I'm trying to get across. I'm feeling lazy today but MR. Rich's post speaks volumes in my book. How've you been by the way? For me I'm waiting on these markets to turn around and trying to figure out what the hells up with the weather in my neck of the woods.
Well, I predicted (from my gut) that we would see a turn around after the 15th. I don't know what the FUD is for today. I'm just annoyed that I don't have enough liquid crypto to sell for riding these waves. I feel like I always get into things at the wrong time. LOL
Amen to that. I feel the same way. Good to hear from you brother.
