[QUOTE="sumoj275, post: 2006329, member: 198"] Why replace one repressive government with another repressive government? Many would like to think that if the American Civil War had turned out differently then the Southern states would have been better off.....we know that this would have led to a weaker nation but a more favorable situation with trading with other countries----does that mean that England, Spain, France, or Belgium would not have made the Southern states puppets? There would have to be a trial and error period like the Articles of Confederation, Bill of Rights, etc. take course but at least there would be an advantage that Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and other forefathers did not have; 200 years of mistakes to learn from. And to the Tories/Loyalist minded remember what happened to them after the American Revolution and the Indian Nations that fought for the Union during the Civil War---they lost pretty much everything.
