If the North and South were to fight RIGHT NOW, who would win? No Military.

I'm gonna get some Roscos Chicken and waffles.:)

Anyone want some?

That's assuming that the South would be able to find the North. Conanfan1

So do I not get to take part in this?

My state was pretty much a non factor in the Civil war.

The north considering it controls new york, the economic capital of the U.S.

Redefeat slavery11!

The North. The south might have three rifles to a person but we're the only people who would willingly put ourselves through the stress that is the New York Stock Exchange. Not to mention we have better taste in booze.Tiefster

Let's just say the citizens of the North and South wanted a rematch, and the military could not get involved, who do yall think would win in a war? I say it would be close. Just about everyone down here owns at least 3 rifles, but yall have more people. I think in the end we would win!1stCommando

I live in Washington State, and maybe I just live in a really redneck district or something, most people I know have at least one gun in they're house. My dad has four shotguns, three assault riffles (single shot of course, but he knows how to modify them) and god knows how many pistols. My older brothers, ages 21 and 24, have already started collecting, and once I'm out of high school I'm getting one for myself.

In any case, the North a better economy so we could easily stock up at the start of the war, and then our numbers would win it.

*sigh* at hindering the image many people think of Southern people... I don't know, I just cringe every time I hear (or read) the word "ya'll". It just sounds so... southern. I live in Tennessee, a State that has a reputation of being the very stereotype of southern people, next to Alabama. And it's true, there are many, many rednecks here. I need to move as soon as possible...

Anyway, about your question... all I can say is that I hope it doesn't come to that.

^I can understand how someone might say "y'all" every now and then, out of habit. But why the hell would you go out of your way to type it? Is he just trying to prove his southerness?darkmoney52

You completely missed what he said.

The north controls the vast majority of the wealth...

Automatic win.

Well if it came down to just citizens fighting each other, the South would win by a landslide.

I am talking military(esque) conditions. just with regular citizens fighting. Think about it. A good southern hunting boy dug down in a trench versus some wall street hotshot. Plus everyone knows people down here are just flat out crazy. You can't beat crazy.

What a ridiculous question.

The South could never win such a fight. All of the biggest cities and industry belong to the north. In the South we have Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami....and what else?? Nashville, Memphis, Charleston, Tampa, Orlando, Richmond, New Orleans.

The North has titanic cities such as New York City and Chicago which alone would crush the population of our largest cities combined Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami. Then they got other monsters such as Philidelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Boston, Indianpolis, Columbus, Cleveland, and Detroit....

Ridiculous. The North has a population that is triple or quadruple that of the south and let's not forget the fact that I think you would have a hard time getting african-american's to fight which make up a larger majority of the southern population than the northern.

So are you implying something about African-Americans? Where do you find it would be hard to get them to fight for their country/state/region?

Well if it's a second civil war, then I would guess that the South would be fighting to reinstate slavery.. and even if it wasn't, many blacks may not fight because of what the first civil war was.

Well since it was a Civil War your statement is not really relevant because either side they choose they would be fighting for their state/region, but only if they joined the north would they be fighting for their country.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is making southern people look really bad?WildLIkeChild

Im from the South and I could care less that the North contains a superior population, wealth, and industry....but its the truth.

The way i understood it was that it was just the north versus the south. nothing implied, like slavery.

but yes, if slavery was the issue i am sure the blacks would not fight. But what if slavery wasnt the issue?

What then?

Well, I don't mean that, but I mean how many people have really added on to the stereotype that the majority of people from the South are rednecks with guns.

If course I was talking to my friend who lives in SC on the phone last night, and her neighbors were shooting fireworks out of a rifle, so one has to wonder.

My homestate of California will be indentpendent from the Union.

It's true that the South is quite diverse. Most of us I assure you are not gun-toting rednecks. We are regular people of all ethnic groups but it just so happens that we also have high saturation of religious fundamentalists, rednecks, and the habit of drinking iced tea.

Im from England, but id have to go with Canada, and then the North. The south would be too wrapped up in making love to there brothers and sisters to go to war.ferron321

Its great to see intelligent conversation from everyone here. You give England a great name btw
