the civil war

the loss by the South of the civil War should have proved to the North (ya know, the normal, non governmental citizens) that the Constitution is totally fraudulent. The Civil War loss by the South demonstrated that there really is no such thing as "States' rights." You see, the South assumed that the Constitution was something the Thing That IS Not A State - DC - paid attention to. Well, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on how the decision favors DC: which is what the Constitution was really written for: DC. Not "America." So the southern States basically stole real estate from DC. Countries traditionally don't like this. The South thought they were being nobel. Plus the slave owners like all the free 12 year old nubian nookie not to mention the white gals and teens liking jacking off the hung bucks.  But in the human species territory trumps gonads. It's always a close battle but territorial imperatives usually prevail. Because without territory there's no pussy. Just watch PBS nature shows if you don't believe that.
