We elected the compulsive lying pedophile in chief. The brainless one.
That's what happens when people vote for criminal dirtbags and convicted rapists.
Perhaps it was a mistake to fight the Civil War? There's not one word
in The Constitution that precludes a state from seceding. Maybe what
would have been the residual United States, the "northern states", would
have benefited since 1861 by not fighting that war than how it has
turned out. You can't turn back the clock, but I often wonder. And,
with respect to the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, a residual U.S.
could have passed and ratified those Amendments without the need to
fight and defeat the south. It certainly would be a different U.S.
without George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and all the
other Presidents who lived in states below the Mason-Dickson line.
