Well, you've shown an ability at last to answer a direct question when you're asked it. *tips hat.*

No, the Civil War was not about power, not in the sense you mean. It was about Southerners expecting with Enuff Jesus they could reverse the tides of time and preserve a Slave Power that was accustomed to everything going its own way. Then Grant led his first attack against them and it was downhill for them from there.

Now tell me another one. The Leftists in the literal sense all have an end goal of anarchism. In fascistland in the Bright Shiny Happiness of the future there is only war.
