WHAT DO YOU WANT??????
Yes only a psychotic USC professor would write something like that!
I doubt it, then all the yankees that spend the winter in Florida wouldn't have anywhere to go.
Insane. Im for enlarging the USA if possible. Hey Canada... Want to sell us British Columbia and Yukon Territory for 6Trillion?
What a waste of space You are so ignorant! Study something important! This is just silly! What a waste of mentality!
I am a Yankee that now lives in the south. Let me tell you something that northerners learn when they come here. The phrase "southern hospitality" is something you have to experience. Up north it might sound like an urban legend until they come down here and experience it. The person that wrote that I bet has never lived down here to experience the friendliness of the south. Or just views southerners by the way Hollywood films portray them. Don't waste your time with the rantings of a lunatic that has never experienced the beauty of the south...the people, festivals, sense of humor, music, art and plain ole good people.
Your are only seeing the opinion of 2 people. There are some people, mostly people who have no idea what their talking about, who feel that way. It's impossible to do what these two idiots are talking about. The South is a large part of our United States. They can't be 'gotten rid of'....Some of our best presidents came from the South. A lot of our commerce comes from the south. We have people in high government offices who also come from the south. When people have a personal problem with the citizens of another state they will go to drastic measures to let the world know how they feel and what they would like to be seen done. Don't worry about it. The electoral votes are needed from the southern states and whoever runs for president would not give those up believe me. Don't pay attention to what I call 'weirdos' who have nothing better to do than get people all riled up. Like I said don't worry it will never happen!
The north that would like the south out is liberal new england states. I have no idea how those states went so far left in political thinking. Let's have another civil war and leave the union again.
No! The North does Not want the South out. Because the Yankees in the North East are still exploiting the South just like they always have. The Yankess also exploit the rest of the country too. Nowdays, they do it with their taxes on the rest of the country.
The War was about control and nothing else. The South refused to pay Taxes to the North similar to how the early colonists rebelled and refused to pay taxes to the British. The War between the North and the South has nothing to do with human rights to free slaves. In fact, Blacks were treated like slaves until 1967 after the Civil Rights Movement. The North wanted to share the wealth generated in the South due to trade, and wanted to subjugate the Southern Women. Anyway, it is one country now and built on lots of innocent Blood.
Yeah! I've seen this...the South's secession was stopped by northern aggression...Now is the time for the south to divest the north by exclusion. An example is one northern state represented by a War criminal, a murderer, and a homosexual pedophile! Why would any civilized people want anything to do with a group of people that show who they are by that representation?
I should like to point out , to anyone who expresses such Secesh twaddle , that although the South believes that they are the only ones who remember the War of Northern Agression, as they like to call it, there are many,MANY,stalwart sons of the Union in the north, who shall not flinch from the call to arms, should such be needful to preserve the Union. It is not merely for ceremonial ritual that we were taught to repeat the sacred litany, "One nation, under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All!" We too, honor our sacred dead. We too, respect the sacred days devoted to our glorious ancestors honor. We visit the ancient battlefields, and walk where the shades of our forbears walked, so far from the praries and pastures of home. We remember the horrific scenes and scents of battle, and we curse the damnable dogs who thought to profit from our nations misery, who sought to render asunder the common ties of all free men, and fought to destroy the Good and Glorious Union. Yet, even in this day of reason and instantaneous communication, these currs continue to whelp traitorous offspring, scum and scoundrels who would seek to divide and conquer this great nation of ours for a widow's mite, for 30 pieces of silver. Fie on you,sirrah, FIE! There can be no mere shrug of the shoulders in response to such dastardy.Treason! Aye, TREASON! The constitution which binds this country together as the greatest modern democracy has a remedy for such a damnable offense. Perchance you should peruse said document before you continue in your ministries, and avoid the consequences entailed by your crimes.
NO, Yates is a nut, I'm also a Yankee and love to visit the South, I think Looch summed it up pretty well, I'm not into catfish however but your sweet tea is awesome. Forget the Civil war, we as Americans have more important things to worry about. Check out Oliver Stone's new movie "World Trade Center" as a stark reminder of what we're facing.
I need to move to Dixie! color my neck..."red". God bless real Americans!
It is a public's right to determine their own destiny. If the South wanted to succeed again and the US tried to stop them, it would be akin to the 13 colonies and their struggle for freedom from England. Both struggles would be considered 'illegal' by the governments that control the area and a struggle of independence by those fighting for that freedom. Consider this: In the US we are taught that the war of independence was a struggle of an oppressed set of colonies vs a huge uncaring superpower. That's all it was about. From what I have been told by a couple of professors and exchange students, the same war is described as a rebellious uprising that was part of a larger global struggle for power between Britain, France, and Spain. There is nothing noble about it. History is all in the eye of the beholder. Now, does the North want the South out? On a large scale, I would doubt it. We have the notion that secession is so wrong and that the best thing for everyone in every state be under one government hammered into our minds over and over so much that outside of the box thinking that would even hint at the notion of a portion of this country leaving to follow their own path is flamed as treasonous, stupid, or 'unamerican.'... when ironically the notion of a people being able to throw aside a government they don't feel is treating them fairly to start a new nation is the very thing this country as a whole was founded on. On an individual basis... I am sure there are people who wouldn't mind seeing some states leave the union for various reasons.
It would be hell if the South did a turn about and forced the North back into the Union. It will never happen, too many factories in the North have businesses here. Either they would loose the cheap labor by moving back North, or the North would loose the benefits of tax income when the whole operation moved South.
People joke about it but no
