July 6, 201511 yr I've read that the south never would have survived as an independent country for too long. They didn't have the industrial might of the north and their agriculture wouldn't have been efficient enough to survive. It would have been a disaster for both the North and the South. As you mentioned, the South, with no industrial base would have struggled mightily. Also, with states rights being such a big issue for them, and in most cases, slavery was the only common connection. Slavery likely would have went away soon, war or no war, and without that connection, there wouldn't have been much to hold the confederacy together. As for the North, it would have been very vulnerable and weak. DC couldn't have remained the capital as it would have been very difficult to defend. Losing control over the Mississippi River and New Orleans would have been a disaster for trade, especially in South America.
July 6, 201511 yr Author Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. Isaiah 1:4
July 6, 201511 yr I'm beginning to think someone is just here to "bother" everyone they can, while contributing nothing to discussion. Edited July 6, 201511 yr by thehotsnakes Seriously?
July 6, 201511 yr Author I'm beginning to think someone is just here to "bother" everyone they can, while contributing nothing to discussion. If you are referring to me, then you are wrong. I am here to provide a voice for those who still believe in God and the fact that what we are doing in this world is wrong. God and his angels see it. It is only a matter of time.

It's fine to do what you want to do, but don't act like you're some holy martyr who is here fighting the good fight and bringing souls back to the Lord.

I came here for those who are searching for God.
July 6, 201511 yr ^I believe in God. Please do not attempt to say your sanctimonious moral superiority speaks for me.
July 6, 201511 yr Author ^I believe in God. Please do not attempt to say your sanctimonious moral superiority speaks for me. Then, I did not come here for you either. You have found God and are not searching for Him.
July 6, 201511 yr I must admit that I'm too dense to understand how some of these posts pertain to the topic. Dots not connected.
