Seems Ron Paul is still fighting the Civil War by revising histroy. Perhaps there were people who had other ideas about using war to solve problems between the north and the south but certainly the ugly truth about slavery had a lot to do with it. Time this war between the states was put to rest. United we stand, divided we fall ya' know.
