http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/5/1/1657804/-Trump-Why-was-there-the-Civil-War-Why-could-that-one-not-have-been-worked-outPeople dont realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why? People dont ask that question, but why was there the Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?
----------
It's really a shame that the reasons for the Civil War are so rarely discussed in the US. There should be books about this! Movies! Reenactments! This should be discussed at length in schools and academia!
Why do people care so little about this topic?
Just kidding. The War of Northern Aggression was started by a republican President who wanted to crush states-rights.
