Independent Observation: It's really sad when a German has to give an

Angelo, you have it down 100% as to the causes and such of the Civil War 
(known in many places in the south as the "War of Northern Aggression" to 
this day).

It frightens me in no small manner that Richard, who is very knowledgeable 
on some topics, would be so way off on American history.
