Umm, have you seen how poor and dumb the South is? The entire area is a drain on the rest of the country. Hopefully they try to secede again, everyone will say “good riddance”.
By "won the peace" I mean they were able to reinstitute slavery using a loophole in the 13th amendment and not only did they do it to their states they were able to influence the whole country through national voting. It's insane to give rebels equal voting rights after they lose. I think we far more closely resemble what the Confederate States of America would look had they won than people realize. We made a big mistake accepting them back into the union with equal standing.

This is dumb.
Even the two poorest states in the country- Mississippi and West Virginia (arguably the South)- have higher gross household income (PPP) than other rich nations like Canada, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. Clearly they have some idea of what they're doing on the econ side.
You are a very smart baseball guy, but you prove your economic knowledge is grossly inadequate when you denigrate an entire swath of the richest country on Earth.
"Hey, let's let a swath of 100+ million people and an economy of $6ish billion secede!! There's no way California and New York would ever let us go bankrupt or decimate the military!!"
Brilliant stuff by Chief Derp.
Don't start this crap.
