The analogies to today are mine. The Civil War, as a time period is, to me, the window to the soul of what America is.

I would be interested in your thoughts on what could have been done to avoid the war.

Maybe my gloves are in one of her jackets.

No they should not.

...if Southern leaders were not insistent on fighting, they would have announced withdrawal from the Union, as they did. They would have established their own government, as they did.

And then they would have entered into negotiations with the federal government to peacefully and patiently acquire each and every piece of federal property in the succeeded states, from arsenals to forts to offices to pencils and paper.

As it was, they did so violently and asked for war. The North said...

OK.

...who would become president this time if women were not allowed to vote?

I wonder who would win if men were not allowed?

if you are going to explain to me how something was created out of nothing...be my guest.

I used to be able to explain NEARLY every aspect of how a god could not exist...but thats where I'd get stuck. You simply cannot have physical things without some divine intervention. Sure, you can explain how different chemicals combine today to make different things, BUT, how do you explain exactly where carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, ect. atoms came from? You cannot even have the heat that was required to combine some atoms to other atoms to make different chemical combinations w/o the initial creation of something.

Tell me how something came from nothing and maybe I'll second guess my beliefs, but currently I can completely be against organized religion but still believe that some being had to have created the elements of the universe.

Then it comes doown to who created the being. It's all very confusing.
