    Thank you for that

    The more I learn about the concessions made to the southern slave owners I wish the founders hadn’t tried so hard to include them in the union. The north and the south were so different it seems like it would be as doomed to failure as jamming all the Balkan states into a single country.

    Every time Texas threatens to secede and doesn’t I wish we had the choice to vote them out so they could see just how badly they are not the hot shit they think they are.

      Same, Texas is unique, they fought 2 wars of independence because their parent country started (or could theoretically start) restricting slavery.
