Maurice, Amusing that 4 July is celebrated as freedom but the civil war loss by the confederates is not bemoaned as a loss of freedom. Amid the more emotional references of the civil war and slavery, it is often forgotten that the most important outcome of the civil war was the preservation of the federalist system through the total defeat of the southern states and their "states rights" arguments. We had tried the independent states route through the Articles of Confederation, which turned out to be a total disaster. Hence the federalists under Thomas Jefferson and the Constitution of the United States. Without the Constitution and the federals winning the civil war, the US would not have survived to become the power that it is today. The civil war loss is not bemoaned as a loss of freedom because I think most Americans realize how close we came to being a fractured collection of states rather than a united republic under the United States of America.
