The Union must hold to the End Times. Britain and France were enemies to the Union. The desire was to carve up and “Balkanize” the Union, promising a perpetual state of war on the North American Continent, and a much darker future for the World. That is because we would not be available for PostWWII Reconstruction, and Containment of the Soviet Empire, which would most likely be squaring off against a Third Reich Empire spread across the World, having subsumed the British, French and Dutch Empires, and the North American Continent in the process. That would all have been an intolerable nightmare. The Confederacy would have disappeared entirely, and whored itself out, Vichy-like, to the Third Reich; States’ Rights (and any other concept of rights) disappearing utterly from the face of the Earth. Oh the “Noble” Planter Aristocracy might have found a place in the Third Reich, running their estates as colonies to the Third Reich, under conditions similar to those reported by Alexander Hamilton on the Caribbean colonies of Britain. And the status of Slave would not belong only to Black Americans. That status would be shared by all Americans (except for the “Noble” Aristocracy of course), as Hitler saw us as a “Mongrel Race” in his words, and likely would be slated for being “worked to death”, literally. Being of Puritan ancestry, I still believe in the exceptionality of America, that God’s Angels are hard at work to fulfill His Plan for us, and that He ordains all our outcomes for our Union of States. It was no ” lucky break” that Lincoln prevailed over Davis, that utterly ordinary, flawed Grant out-generaled the brilliant, top-ranked, high-born, General Lee. But I do look for great things, in the name of States’ Rights, to be accomplished by Texas and Florida, and other Southern States, for all their Sister States of our Union, turning back Federal Overreach, and the Fifth Column that steers that Federal Overreach. The South has a legitimate point in championing States’ Rights, and a Mission to fulfill, for the betterment of our Union.

The Southern cause has become the cause for any American who want to live a free and prosperous life. The Yankee spirit continues to persecute anyone who disagrees with it in any area of life.

Larry Brown, you are a nationalist, a New England puritan, the enemy of Jeffersonian. I suggests that you read Ralph Raico’s and John V. Denson’s works on WW1. Whenever I hear someone mention that we (the United States) would not have defeated Hitler or the USSR doesn’t understand World War I.
