Slavery was certainly part of it, as slave economies require territorial expansion to sustain themselves. Every confederate state being able to make it's own foreign policy was the larger concern. With the means and the motive, had the confederacy been left alone, a subtropical empire stretching from the pacific ocean to the Caribbean would have likely developed. The dairies of influential southerners after General Lee surrendered, laying out their reasons to resist and hopes for the future, was what changed my mind about the trope that the civil war was only about slavery.
It's a Chinese world. We just pay for it
Good catch fren! The sneakiness they employ is pathetic
Nope. However, optimism and persistence is healthy. He took a break after the shit storm and came out to address Rush's death. I don't know if making a new party or reforming the Republicans is the path. Once Trump figures that out, I'll support him as always
Nope. Shit happened. Trump hasn't given up on America, and neither have I.
Can I both hope GME goes to the moon, but say I have doubts? lol. Go apes go. This is retarded, and I hope it works.
Especially Animation can be made by MAGA folk. The tools that can be torrented for free are better than what Pixar had in the 90s
Less communist than millennials by half a percent isn't saying much. It's just the first time since the silent generation that the trendline reversed. It does NOT mean Gen Z is even remotely based
It's not easy being green
Women are like cats, as the door must be open. It doesn't matter if they want to be princesses or a frontier lady. Take away the option of self-determination and the meowing begins
Sometimes the bad guys are just idiots, and the good guys get lucky. I only trust 2 justices
The world has gone so clown that the glorification of unlimited sexual partners, aka polyamory, is the norm. When I see a pro-monogamy meme, I feel refreshed in that I know others recognize the anti-family propaganda in ads and poorly written entertainment.
Agent Johnson is just another braindead handshake account desperate to educate about the hidden secrets of WW2. Call out the Hitler LARPing and a few dozen sock puppets appear. The first 8 or so he calls up pretty fast. Pretty fucking hilarious when he gets mad and starts posting on the wrong accounts. Take screenshots if you go that route
1 home. 1 family. It's beautiful and the alternatives are nothing new
Counter-coup? I like the term.
North Dakota is a purge of Dominion away from doing everything right
Please tell me the secret history of WW2. We want you to tell us sooooooooo badly. Like in every thread
Saved! Thank you for the 1st hand footage
Congratulations! You've just won a 4am door knock from your friends at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. What color is you underwear?
See a doctor

As the number of slaves increase, the price of labor decreases. As the price of labor decreases, the price of land increases. Territorial expansion decreases the price of land, and the cycle continues. Once expansion ceases, the upper classes gobble up the land and subsidies to placate the poor begin.
