Charlie Daniels: It’s Only a Matter of Time Before There Is Blood on the Streets

Over a century ago, the United States of America went through a divisive and bloody Civil War that separated the people of this nation bone from marrow. It split friends, families and eventually the nation itself as a line was drawn dividing the Union States of the North from the newly formed Confederacy of the Southern States.

Ostensibly, the war that followed was fought over the abolition of slavery, a devilish practice that never should have been allowed in the first place, and although it was the basic issue for the conflict – as is the case so much of the time – there were a myriad of other issues involved.

One – in my opinion – was just plain stubbornness and pride and the dogged determination that the South would not let itself be told what to do by the other half of the country, but trade, tariffs and different attitudes and beliefs about just how far a federal government could go in setting the tone and making laws to be obeyed by all the states were also involved.

Another old fart threatening violence who would die when his diabetes and blood pressure meds ran out:

He didn't threaten violence. Did you read it?

Another big reason for the war was the fact that the northern states were no longer going to allow the southern aristocracy to dominate politics like they had the first 60 years of the Republic. No more compromises to allow slavery to spread to other states.
