So, the south was too stupid to invent and mechanize?
As far as me personally being a southerner or Democrat and getting over my loss, my family fought with Union in the 4th and 5th Iowa Volunteers out of Waterloo and were in Atlanta and Charleston when they fell.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
I always said I needed to find a woman who looks like Cindy Crawford and sees like Hellen Keller.
I’m sure I could find one or two in that pileHow do you get a Bama cheerleader in your dorm room?
Grease her hips and push real hard.

Better idea, go park your shit box somewhere else and mind your own fucking business
OMG... The density factor.
That's it-THIS POS is on ignoreSo, the south was too stupid to invent and mechanize?
That and the whole thing where they had a few hundred year start on industry establishment in the North since that's where the colonies were.No dumbass. Fucking resources.
The industry in the north existed because of the RESOURCES....
Was trying to avoid this, but one must do what one must do.I think they want to start the new year off with me posting my special hotties
Texas has done a tremendous job of making the rest of us forget they were the largest slave owning state. And not by land area.History is full of messy bits that nobody really wants to talk about.
Nobody was on the side of the angels
Everybody loved their slaves and didn't want to let them go.
The Industrial revolution is what actually eliminated slavery.
It became cheaper to have disposable workers that you could pay a pittance to and not care what happened to them while running your machines.
Buying, owning and caring for slaves became counterproductive to generating wealth once you just needed a few wage slaves to run your machines.
The north was where all the cheap immigrant labour was pouring into and where factories and industry was exploding.
The north had the industry, the factories and an endless supply of immigrants willing to work for anything or able to be conscripted into the army to go fight.
Slavery around the industrial world came to an end within a very short timeframe, the USA was actually a bit behind the curve as stupids argued about "property rights" of the slave owners. Texas for example was kind of partly started because the Texans didn't appreciate the Mexican government abolishing slavery and were in no mood to give up their slaves...
And your point is?? Lot of less than pleasant things happened in the past all the time you focus on selected parts of history you’re just part of the game.Texas has done a tremendous job of making the rest of us forget they were the largest slave owning state. And not by land area.
Lighten up Francis. It's just a discussion. No one is blaming you for slavery. I'm assuming you're from Texas.And your point is?? Lot of less than pleasant things happened in the past all the time you focus on selected parts of history you’re just part of the game.
Not to pick on Garvey but... The Spencer, not the Sharps, was the first US rifle issued that used metallic cartridges, which were loaded into a 7-round tubular magazine in the butt of the gun. A popular saying of the time was you “could load it on Sunday and shoot all week.”... The Sharp's rifle was fired by Lincoln himself, in the back yard of the White House. The confederates said "that damn Yankee gun you could load on Sunday and fire it all week". While they were mostly still muzzle loading.
There are three, right? They're ours, right?

Anyway...
"The first casualty of war is the truth." Julie Berry
One should remember it is the winner who writes "history." Ask the Russians and Chinese.
Oh, in addition to the Texan embargo there was a successful U.S. Navy blockade of Southern ports.
If the war to end slavery was so popular why were there riots in Baltimore, New York, etc.? Why were immigrants recruited right off the ships? Not enough Northern volunteers?
If secession was "illegal" why did Lincoln push "western Virginians" to secede from Virginia? Yes, that's how West Virginia became a state in 1863.
Why did Lincoln invade Maryland? They hadn't seceded.
If the Southern POW camps were so horrible why did Lincoln end trading POWs with the CSA? Didn't he want to rescue the Northern veterans from those death camps. Maybe to leverage the South's shortage of soldiers. Ever read about the Northern POW camps? I guess Southerners didn't surrender.
If the Northern states thought the South and its culture of slavery was the epitome of evil, why didn't they buy their cotton elsewhere?
I could go on but why are you guys arguing over a war that ended over 150 years ago? Things aren't bad enough here already? Couldn't find anything else motivational?
That saying was actually about the Henry Rifle not the Spencer......Not to pick on Garvey but...
