Slavery was on the way out anyway, before the War of northern Aggression started.

Yep. Slavery had become politically incorrect in the US. So the
Noble Confederates decided to break off their corner of the US to create
a safe space for their "peculiar institution".

The Noble Confederates assumed that war would be averted when Great
Britian allied itself with the Cofederacy to insure it's supply of slave
picked cotton.

As Jeff Davis said, "If they (Great Britian) want it (slave
picked cotton), they can come and get it."

We all know how well that worked out.

What the Noble Cofederate braintrust failed to realize was that 1) The
public of Great Britian had little support for slavery. 2) Great
Britian was not onlly buying alot of cotton from the would-be
Confederate states but also alot of wheat from the US. 3) Great
Britian was capable of growing reliable supplies of cotton in Egypt
and India.

In preperation for the conflict, the Noble Confederates raided Federal
armories and ships, owned by the United States agressors. The agressive
President of the US, James Buchanan, didn't do a damn thing about the
thefts of war material. Of course, everyone is aware of Ft, Sumter, in
which the agressors shot second and very weakly.

Failing an alliance with Great Britian, the Noble Confederacy decided
it's best strategy was to outlast the United States in the war. In
retrospect, this isn't much of a strategy. Essentially, the
Noble Confederate government was expecting that the people of the
Confederacy could withstand more distruction, devastation and death
than the United States. Because the plantation owners couldn't live
without slavery.

We all know how well that worked out.

Well, history is written a bit different down south. I guess "Treason"
does that to a person's outlook on life. But, those nice people, in
the sheets and hoods create their own memories. And, speaking of
Great Britain, the dope trade out of China was the most profitable
trade at that time in the world. The crown was flooded with wealth,
and had to build new places to store all that cash. Dope is a real
cash business.

Govt is 'rolling in dope' all the time. Y'all ever see that photo of 'Tippy Toes' Yeb Bush and that SOB George Bush standing by that Airplane in Florida?
