    What the hell are you talking about??? We didn’t “pull through”. The south tried to leave the union, and we said “oh no you don’t, ya little shit!”

      Yeah and it only took the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Americans fighting with muskets and cannons. I dread to think what a civil war would look like today
