Of course not. You can totally have a Socialist Capitalist nation. The state itself would be a corporation.

pretty much what we have now

Didn't the Confederacy attacked a US outpost known as Fort Sumter first? And don't tell me that it was Confederate property. Virginia sold the estate to the US Federal Army long before the Civil War, it was Federal property, the facts are there.

It was part of the land below the Mason Dixon. They gave them plenty of warning to leave. The attack only happened after the Secretary of War sent several warships to the Fort and the South thought they were being invaded.

Isn't that what most so-called "People's Republics" do nowadays

 

[Smart Marx]

People who believe the lost cause myth often forget that not only did the CSA fire on the US first, but they also raided several Federal bases and stole several federal posts, ammunition and other such necessities for war. They also gathered their army first.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Pretty much only North Korea hasn't progressed to that yet

 

[Chris]

Then it doesn't count, he didn't own the slaves

"The war of Northern aggression"

The biggest thing people have on Lincoln is suspending Habeus Corpus, which at first was only along rail lines, and later had Congress approval.
