Have been watching a lot about pre civil war american politics lately and i have to say patriots of this country have been getting shafted much longer than just a few years. The South WAS American politics. Lincoln was a tyrant and is the reason all of our parents and grandparents have mistrust in Republicans. The Confederacy's government was an even better version of what our founding fathers tried to accomplish in 1776. It was based in jeffersonian philosophy. Small federal government, no national bank, no internal taxes, non interventionist foreign policy, and no corporate subsidies. The civil war had little to do with slavery and all to do with establishing a powerful central government. Sad to say we lost the second revolutionary war friends. Look into what is known as the Jefferson era in american politics for anyone interested. A lot of our problems could be remedied with a return to this philosophy of jefferson. Sorry for the long post i just found all this totally fascinating recently and also tired of hearin "tHe SoUTh iS RaCiMs!"

Edit: To the downvoters, look it up. The only reason slaves were freed was because the north was hoping for a rebellion against the slave owners of the south. Thats quotable from lincoln himself. He imprisoned journalists and speakers for speaking out against him. The 5 living presidents alive during the election actively opposed lincoln.
