Nooooo....<br /><br />GYPSY,<br />Look at history, and there is the answer to your question. And for anyone who may not have gotten the point of this essay, it speculates that if the south had won and there were two separate nations going forward, neither of them would likely be as powerful as the U.S. is today--and perhaps we wouldn't have seen the meddling in other sovereign nation's affairs during the previous century. (Some call it imperialism.) But then, maybe nobody would have stopped Hitler either...Timoteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351410966396854582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-50247553817893885102010-02-18T05:34:34.810-07:002010-02-18T05:34:34.810-07:00A very interesting period in American history for ...A very interesting period in American history for sure.<br /><br />We didn't study it a great deal at school but I thoroughly enjoyed the mini series North and South and also read all 3 books by John Jakes.<br /><br />Does war ever solve anything and do we ever really learn anything when it doesn't?
