Gov. of, by & for the people as well as freedom was busy being crushed by the Union army. The South just wanted away from a greedy and despotic North. Well, here it is 155 years later: our criminal Government is a direct descendent of Dishonest Abe's government: despotic at home and oppressive abroad. Most of what the great men of the South predicted would happen (society, Government, relations) before the war has happened and can be seen today.
