Conscription is the vitality of a nation, the purification of its morality, and the real foundations of all its habits.

We've already contacted your government and offered a complete surrender on the one condition that they take her back.

Good. This is acceptable.

My first act as ruler of your country is renaming it "Yankeeville".

The second act is naming Nanatsu as Vassal Ruler of Yankeeville.

I would stay with the Union for sure.

I intend to be on the winning side and it's far easier to defect to the rebels if the war goes in their favor than crawl back to the Union if it doesn't.

Besides if the South couldn't win in the 1860's they sure as hell couldn't win now. Time has only worsened their position to rebel.

I will have to dispatch my clone troops to fight you.

They're all clones of Nanatsu, by the way.

We'll never surrender,not if you're going to leave her in charge. When we run down to our last bullets, we'll put one through each of our heads.

Whoever isnt trying to take away my guns.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Not trying to rekindle a dead flame, but I strongly believe that if America was to have another civil war, then Britain would step in and pick a side. But let's be honest, has the first Civil War REALLY ended? If you think about the Southern states, racism and inequality is still there. Don't get me wrong but isn't that partly if not mainly what the war about to begin with?

Nope. The South wanted to keep their cheap labor, and was afraid Lincoln was going to take it away, so they gave him the middle finger and cut the cord rather than trying to talk it out. The Union said, "Like hell!" because they wanted to keep the cotton and tobacco exports from the South, plus it would make them look weak to the rest of the world if they just sat back and took it like pussies. In other words, the 600,000 people who died in the American Civil War did so because a bunch of rich, stuck-up snobs wanted to have the biggest e-peen contest in U.S. history.

Hey sonny, come up to Chicago and you'll see that racism and inequality are alive and well here, too. Or head over to California and just watch how racist those people are towards Asians. Yanks are probably more racist than Johnny Rebs, they just don't like to admit it...
