Nonsense. I don't see the Kerry voters being rounded up in to concentrations camps do you?

Tim, remember who crushed the South. It was the North. You guys push too hard and it could get very unpleasant.

The South was the breakaway section in the 1860s.

The CSA didn't include states like Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Iowa, West Virginia and Missouri, to count only the states that existed at that time. (14 Red States and 5 Blue States didn't exist back then).
