I think it’s important for Americans (the ones who really care about the Country) to understand this idea, this concept, as it were, of the American “Civil War.”
There are as many opinions as to its meaning but there is only one truth: The American “Civil War” was not about “politics,” per se, rather it was about sovereignty. Southerners were justifiably proud of their heritage, but their culture included and their economy was more-or-less built by slavery.
So, when Northerners began to champion the idea of abolishing slavery, it was seen by the South as interference, as a “state’s right’s” issue. To the Southerners, Yankees had no business telling them how to run their states, or interfering in their sovereignty.
There were, quite probably, Southerners who didn’t approve of enslaving other people but for one reason or another, it never came to a vote in their state.
Abraham Lincoln made it his mission to abolish, to make illegal, slavery, and the only way the South felt it could challenge him was to take up arms and defend their way of life.
Which brings us to today, these times of “civil unrest,” and what this November 5th election means to half of the American population, people who are actually American citizens, not interlopers or illegals aliens or migrant workers. It is, in fact, another example of sovereignty – not politics – and most importantly, culture and heritage.
The U.S. Constitution and the document that preceded it, the “Declaration of Independence,” state unequivocally, that this people should be free. Unfortunately, there are people, not culturally American, who see things differently.
So, in effect, a “civil war” might be inevitable. If the Republic is to survive it might be split (like the North and the South) but it can still be a Republic, just two of them.
Naming conventions to follow.
