Answer what-if questions?

If you want answers to things that didn't happen, there are many fiction writers you can turn to.

Harry Turtledove's "Guns of the South," might give you some fictional answers if your that interested.

If you don't want to answer ES's "what if's", you and Ron Paul have no ground to speculate as to the need for the Civil War in the first place.

The civil war was an actuality. Much like the IRAQ war that everyone "speculates as to the need for."

The what-if's are not.

Civil War/Iraq War are actualities, your speculation as to thier need it not. There is no difference between ES's speculations and yours. Try again.
