If the American Civil War were going on right now which side would you choose?

Would you pick the Blessed Union army or side with the traitor rebel scum known as the Confederacy?

Pick now!

The super awesome Union Army?

Or those drunken illiterate unkempt rebel scum the Confederates?

I'd be in the Union.

Much like Lysander Spooner, I would be an abolitionist who supported the right of states to secede from the union. Afterall, the anti-federalist founding fathers never would've drafted the constitution if they thought that states would be forced to stay in the union.

The traitor rebel scum. :)

Give...me...aaan....

S! *clap* *clap*

Give me an O!

You make it sound so one-sided. Like the Confederates weren't normal, literate people :roll:

Shiggums

I think it's just part of the act.

Eh, i would go to Canada.

neither. I would use the ensuing chaotic atmosphere to run rampant killing anybody who crossed me the wrong way.

I'd be for the full abolition of slavery and full equal rights for all. So I would be considered a huge radical, but I'm not sure I would want to stop secession from happening.

I'd be chillin' in California, sitting it out, watching the people make asses of themselves by killing their own people.

Screw that, I aint killing my fellow countrymen

Thanks for calling us rebel scum..... :roll: XD4NTESINF3RNOX

TC is secretly Ulysses S. Grant. :o

Compared to the standards of today I would hard time fighting for either side.. Both sides were quite racist.sSubZerOo

not to mention a lot of southern states have a large population of black and hispanic people.

Dirty South baby

Since Im Canadian Ill be neutral in this decision just like when the actual civil war was going on.

The Union of course. I don't believe in slave labor, not unless the laborers are serving time.

As with most wars it usually depends on your background/beliefs which usually stem from where you were born/live. If I lived in the south I would have probably agreed that the money hungry northerners were suppressing the south. If I lived in the north I'm sure I would have seen the south as a bunch of traitors to the glorious union. Both sides believed that were righteous in their cause. Slavery did not become an issue until later in the war.

Confederates

I'd fight for the south

being as i'm from georgia, i would fight for the confederacy

Those whoentered the war enteredfor their ownreasons. It was just a matter of when & why?

It's possible theNorth's Anti-slavery campaign was just a way to get support from sympathizersand negros within the north andcreate guerrilla factions within the south. Of course the U.Sgovernment won'tallow a theory of deceptionperpetrated by the union.

I live in Georgia. Long Live The Confederacy!-Apathy-

Hey i live in Georgia. BURN the Confederacy.

(yeh im black, so its not even a choice for me)

being as i'm from georgia, i would fight for the confederacy

needled24-7

I'll say it again.

BURN the Confederacy

Eh, i would go to Canada.

Same ^.^

He didn't call you rebel scum. He called Confederates rebel scum. And I can't say I disagree with that statement.

can a person from canada join a side?

hmmm i dont know

what side would a hispanic teenager be on

maybe the union but i am from the south:?

Union, the Confederacy is terrible at the time. They wanted slavery. Even though I live in Georgia, I'd go for the Union.

Slavery is one of the things that caused the Civil War. The South wanted slavery to still be in force.

I would join the Union if they didn't have lackluster generals. Lonelynight

The more I look into the war the less I believe this to be true: the North had many great generals. Name me some Confederate generals other than Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Most people can't. They have just as many crappy ones as we did.

Since I live in NY and had ancestors who fought for the Union, I would be unable to fight for the CSA. At the same time I completely sympathize with the CSA. Canada here I come :P
