Democrats have always been stupid. In 1860 the south was all democrat, the north was predominantly republican. The 1860 census was published in June of 1860, had the south just considered the numbers, they would have never let the war continue. The north had four times the souths military aged population. The north had over 110,000 businesses, the south had about 20,000. The north had over 102,000 acres of farms cultivated, the south had less than 50,000. The north had 192 firearms manufacturers while the south had 41. The north had 56 gunpowder manufacturers, the south had 4. The north had over 11,000 bootmakers, the south, about 1,600.
So, the democrats of 1860 were pretty fu**ing stupid to start something with little chance of winning. Oh yeah, in case you have ever wondered when fake news began, it goes back to at least 1861, the south was ripe with it. Library of Congress has a lot of the souths civil war newspapers scanned and on-line. Fake news seems to be a democrat thing.
A few bases names after some of the confederate generals didn't mean a damned thing when they were named, and still doesn't. Trump's isn't letting the modern stupid's have their way, good for him.
