No, the South was not right. Although, personally, I think the South should have been allowed to seceed. After over 100 plus year, we are STILL fighting the Civil War with them.

Don't believe it? Scan through all these SOUTH posts on this forum.

Their legal ground was questionable. And it's doubtful they ever approached anything like high moral ground.

As to that cashier, from what you've quoted, it seems that she was the type who generally spent her time in history class napping. So I don't see why you have to brag about your confrontation with her.

And, finally, I'm telling you as a native-born New Yorker that the title of your thread was nothing more than baseless sensationalism. Or, to be more accurate, a weak attempt at baseless sensationalism.

You should have held big huge rallies and protested the remarks, and then blackmailed BN just like Jackson and Sharpton do..

Their legal grounds came from the US Supreme Court, they were wrong, but it simply proves that they can and do make mistakes.

Yeah I guess putting chains around peoples necks is cool in your redneck of the woods. Just remember boy your ancestors were cowards and got their aszes handed to them. Thats why the bitterness carries over from generation to generation. Losers. What kind of men stand by as their cities get burned down? If you were the good guys Id feel bad for you but since you were the oppressors because you werent intelligent enough to sustain a wage based economy go to hell.

I agree. The North was right and they always will be.

But if the South wanted to leave, fine. Let them leave. We are better off anyways. Why did we fight to keep them with us? I see no point.

You should have also bought "The Catcher in the Rye" to throw them off the trail.
