White People coming to american wasn't all Indian Corn and Thanksgiving

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, absolutely. If you think "it was about slavery" means "it was to free the slaves, because slavery is wrong" then you've got some truth to learn. That doesn't make it NOT about slavery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wasn't there also a bear?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I do think there were other tensions that contributed a great deal to the North/South animosity - there's still a cultural divide between rural and urban areas today after 145 years of no-slavery farming, for instance. And I've seen plenty of people from the northern half of the country immediately write off someone upon hearing a Southern accent without waiting to see if what's actually said is ignorant or bigoted. But abolition was the issue that drove states to secede, and that's the one that is morally indefensible.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think it must be the fact that it's 4:30 and I have deadlines and shit, but I'm now COMPLETELY OBSESSED with what the FUCK the vikings have to do with anything?? Because has anyone denied that they were in the Americas before Columbus? And why are they trying to build a mosque in my parents' neighborhood anyway? THEY'RE LUTHERANS!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

At the time of the Civil War, most of the North was still rural as well.

I accept full blame for this obsession.

brillig
I thought the Civil War was about Vikings?
Well, there was the one side that said there should be dragons on the boats, and the other side wanted serpents, and someone said, "What's the difference?", and it went to Hel from there.
