Let’s say for the sake of Argument that in the future liberalism-socialism gets to the point that southern states can accept it no longer and attack the liberal states to restore the nation.
Could Northerners today beat the Southerners like they did in the first civil war? One thing that I think is interesting is that most of the liberal northern states discourage firearm ownership and discourage firearm mastery. A large majority of the northerners live in cities and are either thugs or typical liberals. They took the ability for their citizens to protect themselves. Let’s say that the bases are loyal to their states and the military is divided in two equally. Northern Armies made up of Northerners and Southern Armies are made up of Southerners or those loyal to Red states ideals. Neither side is allowed to use nuclear weapons due to MAD. How would states like New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and California fare against southern states like Texas, Florida, and other typically red states. |

NOT A CHANCE!!!!............But we welcome the opportunity!!! |

Amen brother, do we get to keep our slaves this time? |

I would hate to see it happen, however the South would dominate through superior infrastructure as well: Oil/petroleum refineries, massive agriculture, cattle/ranching/etc. & heavy industry in the south is much stronger now than it used to be.

Anybody want to graph this out by state?

How would you divide the states that didn't exist during the 1st Civil War? Would it be the original 13 Confederate States against the others?
How about for CW II, we have conservative vs. liberal states? I think population wise, it would be pretty much a 50/50 split. We would definitely kick ass and take names. |
|
Thats what I am talking about northerners lost every advantage they had and became weaker both mentally and in manufacturing. |
|
|
I would have to agree - there is no way in hell the northern "yankee, metrosexual, touchy-feely, anti-death penalty, criminal coddling, anti-gun" north would EVER defeat the Southern States if there were to be a so-called "Civil War" in today's historical context.

|
If you let Texans take the lead, we could probably beat you in a few days.
|
|
The ideals guide the lines more than anything else. The blue states wish for a socialism heaven. Red states want to end Blues corruption of the the constitution. |
|
|
It had been a while since the last southerner circle-jerk thread.
I guess we were due. |
|
|
|
|
I don't wish it to go down, but the results would be way different than the first go around.
|

|
You either support liberal ideals or you fight them. |
|
|
Oh, no. I'll be hanging out at the other end of the camp where the ho tents are located. Bring cash, my bitches don't work for free. |
|
|
I think the south as a whole is very conservative, save for several parts in jawjuh that would be full of hippies and thus relegated to artillery barrage practice zones. |
|

|
And will you get William Jefferson Clinton to play the role of Jefferson Davis?

Harm? Like the harm of a civil war? Which "side" seems to have a hard on for that topic? |

|
That's because ya'll know the truth about now. Ya'll don't want it stirred back up |

Make no mistake if this nation ever decends into Civil War again it will be so bloody and so harsh that nothing will ever match it in death and suffering.

Soda vs. Pop vs. 'Coke'. |
|
|
Here we go again with southerners being obsessed with the Civil War.
It's over. The north won. Move on with your life. |
|
You got it wrong home boy. We get Bush, you get Kerry... and Ted Kennedy can be VP |
|||
|
Good one. Good luck with them agreeing on an answer. |
|
|
I think CW2 would/will be Blue vs. Red states. |
|
|
Man, you guys have been suckered but good if you think Bush is a Texan or a Southerner. He is pure New England blue blood WASP. |
|
|
He is more northerner than southerner. Thats why he moved to NYC after his presidency. |

|
If there was any sort of civil war in this day and age, (Which isn't going to happen anytime soon, if at all.) it would be far worse because the polarity of the nation isn't seperated by the mason dixon.
It would be like Civil War era Kansas/Missouri all over the country. |
|
It would be the same as before. IL would produce the arms, detroit would make the war wagons and NY, NY would front the $. We also have Boeing and a host of other companies, good luck running a computer. The North would be marching on Montgomery in less then a week.
Does anyone take the serious? -JTP |

Really? How many people identify themselves as a resident of a state as opposed to identifying themselves as American? The historical reality is that regionalism is dead. With a more mobile population, people don't stay in one place for generation after generation. |

GWB was born in Connecticut, which I don't believe is in the South. And Kerry and Ted were never President, so the leadership will be something like: GHWB and GWB vs. William Jefferson Clinton and Jimmy Carter. |
|
|
As long as we are painting with a broad brush, most of the poor, white trash down south seems to eat that shit up just as much, if not more so, than the North. |
|
|
From being lead by educated and wealthy plantation owners to being led by a bastard child and a peanut farmer! |
|
|
I love the idea about sending those that don't think your way to "reeducation camps". Nice phrasing there commie.
|
|
I know I live in an ultra lib-tard state. It only makes me more conservative. It would be paradise here if it weren't for all the bleeding hearts. I don't think liberal/conservative values (or lack of) follow state lines as closely as some would believe. |
|
|
Damn right. We'll teach the blue bellies once and for all that it's "Coke" |

what a bunch of garbage if general lee had followed the sound advice of major general john hood at the battle of gettysburg, the world might be a very different place today |
