    They didn’t just secede, they started shooting. If the south had not attacked the US Army, I don’t know if the USA would have had the political will for the necessary sacrifices.

    I wonder if that was a kind of déformation professionnelle. They were slavers and used to force their will through immediate, massive, brutal violence.

      déformation professionnelle

      Fascinating. First time I’ve heard this term. I’ll have to use it in the future.
