I guess I'll bite on this one. So recorded history is wrong that the South was an agricultural economy pretty much based on slavery and the South had little manufacturing capability, about 29 percent of the railroad tracks, and only 13 percent of the nation's banks? And the North even outproduced the South in agriculture; in 1860, the Northern states produced half of the nation's corn, four-fifths of its wheat, and seven-eighths of its oats due to northern agriculture becoming increasingly mechanized while the South agriculture remained labor intensive.
But in your version of history, the North was jealous of the South being so prosperous and that was the cause of the war? Interesting view on the situation.

You forgot the part about northerners forcing their disgustful sinful ways on the innocent southerners.
Also, forgot to mention about how the north started the war by attacking Fort Sumter.
Anyway, back to Trump.
There's a good chance Bannon put him up to this as a call out to the white supremacists in his base.

President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!"
I call BS on this one because its coherent, a compete sentence, and has punctuation. None of which Trump is known for.
Maybe he let someone borrow his phone during dinner Mar a Lago. That wouldn't be a security issue at all.

Trump's biggest indiscretion is that he's naïve enough to argue with children -- many of them well past the legal age of majority. He should stop sweating the small stuff, allow the economy to "regulate" itself, work to dismantle much of our overbuilt public sector, and let the whiny little brats embarrass themselves. The rest will fall into place, with the Klinton Kiddie Korps braying in protest every step of the way.
I voted for Johnson; but better Trump than ANY Democrat! and what I've seen in the last few months, especially the infantile behavior of a bunch of sore losers and overgrown children, suits me just fine!
So why does he continuously bring up things like this that are a distraction to his work, particularly when he doesn't have a remote idea what he is talking about. Contradicting crowd size, weather reports, who cares, shouldn't he be focusing on more important things. That's the issue he is constantly sweating the small stuff and meanwhile he doesn't have the slightest idea what is in the legislation he is passing around. Why is he even commenting on the history of the civil war with everything else going on in the world.
He has the attention span of a gnat and constantly changes his mind, how can anyone in their right mind take him seriously. I thought we had seen the most embarrassing week but this one takes the cake.
Well, that depends. Is Uncle Grover the President of the United States?
Maybe this was the problem. There was no other world leader who could give Trump a 10 minute history lesson on Jackson.
