The commentary I added is of course a vast simplification. I have a heavy appetite for destruction right now (ironically), and it's not likely to get better within the week. However, there's also a grain of truth in my partly facetious claim. I don't think we've ever resolved the slavery question satisfactorily, and until we do the Confederacy (and their northern sympathizers) will wield too much influence in our politics.
