Maybe. But what did the "US" do in the Civil War? Sherman's March. They burned, raped and stole. They occupied for decades with carpet baggers. And the one's they were supposed to have freed? They left them to Jim Crow laws and poll taxes. It was a joke. A very sad joke. And the scars of occupation still live here. If anyone can understand why the Iraqis are fighting the occupation, it should be a Southerner who hated the occupation by the North. Everything was sold off to "pals" just like in Iraq. the spoils of war. So will there be this uprising? Will this country unite? I dunno. Saying sorry for Sherman's March instead of viewing it as a great event might help. Saying sorry for the carpetbaggers might help. Admitting the blacks that were "freed" were left to Jim Crow laws might help. We might be a country again, if we ever were.
