I've been to the south many, many times. I meant nowadays sir.
I do like the live oaks draped with moss, the bbq in SC, and the smell once one gets to about Elizabeth City, NC.
But up here is really where I belong.

I assure you that very few, if any (I'd wager 0) Indians fought for the confederacy.

I'll say it again. Patriots win. Traitors lose. Let that sink in.

He is one of hundreds of politicians in DC...I don't understand.If you left wingers hate us so called right wingers so much why so interested in keeping the country together? Why not let us go our separate ways and then things can get done finally.
it won't happen. I wish there was a place to herd all right wingers, but in most of the places people like you propose, there are people already living there who want to stay US citizens.

Your ancestors fought because they were told to. Cannon Fodder. I think it is funny everytime I come across an American that hates himself.

I'll take that bet.
Native Americans in the American Civil War

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_American_Civil_War


Some of these tribes even sent troops to serve in the Confederate army, and one Cherokee, Stand Watie, rose to the rank of brigadier general.

I love revisionist history, now blacks fought for the Confederate cause, must mean slavery wasn't so bad after all.

Talk about your own private Idaho.

Wait until they start bringing up accounts of how blacks were happy being enslaved.
