Good reply. Thanks

If you want to binge a great documentary, Ken Burns’ The Civil War is phenomenal.

There’s a story that says that a Northern quartermaster didn’t want repeating rifles because he didn’t want his troops wasting bullets.

More likely the repeating rifles were more expensive and heavier.

I’ve seen this idea from several sources. The British figured that American ‘Manifest Destiny’ would mean annexing Canada eventually. It didn’t cost the Brits a lot to stir up Southern resentments against the North. So they South got played.

Many people believe that the British government actively pushed the south to secede in order to weaken the US.

Apples and oranges.

Vietnamese had been fighting for twenty years against the French and Japanese. The South thought they would achieve victory with a few battles.

I think that first wife Ivana dressed him until he dumped her.

Trump has based his entire personality on a third rate Mafia thug. He’s the guy who thought Fredo should have led the Family. Of course he’d pretend to be a peacemaker and then do a sneak attack.
