This movie takes a satirical look at what may have happened if the South won.

C.S.A. The Movie

They were two countries that were very much unalike. The North was more industrial and had a strong manufacturing base. The South was mostly into Farming. It still is mostly into farming. That is one of their problems even now. They are still clinging too hard to the past.

Let me rephrase that. It only DIRECTLY affected 6% of the Pop. The war was mostly about economics. The North was getting the lions share of industrialization, and was threatening to take away the main source of income and wealth in the South. What they failed to realize is that actually having to pay their workers would spread the "wealth" so to speak, and after a tough year or so spark the economy.

That makes more sense.

I think the reflective property of slavery coexacted the transitive property of coronary artery disease, leaving the 3rd bar of every Rolling Stones song dissolving into nuclear fission with the 3rd down efficiency of Super Bowl teams.

Sorry, just flexing my giant brain.

I can't buy that 6% theory. At the start of the Civil War, there were more blacks in S. Carolina than there were whites.

He is probably talking about the percentage of people owning slaves...

Big plantation owners owned the majority of the slaves, even though they were the minority... And not all of them were slaves, a lot of blacks worked the docks as freedmen. Of course agian it depends on whose history books you read...

I'm not reading the same books you are. You stated earlier that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War. Hey, it had EVERYTHING to do with the Civil War. The main issue was " States Rights" of which slavery was a central issue. There were other rights involved but slavery was a biggie.

I have doubts that America as we know it would exist if the traiterous confederates would have won.

Odds are we'd have been done no later than WWII.

I doubt you know much about it since you can't spell traitorous. Ignorant Donkey.

Ultra Peanut · 01-21-2006, 11:32 PM

Even if the CSA had won, taken over the whole of America, and stayed intact, I find it very hard to imagine slavery still being in effect in the 21st century. That's just a silly premise that takes me right out of "the moment," even if the movie is satirical in nature.

Also, why would they use the battle flag and not the Stars & Bars?

Eh, I'm on a foreign keyboard... I'm used to the ergonomic stuff with the keyboard seperated in two... This mono-board crap is for the birds...

No, slavery was the North's excuse to rally behind the war... Without them using slavery, the northern population would not have supported it.. The North did not want to lose the South's argicultural and military areas..

It would be like the Chiefs telling fans how much they apprieciate them and their support when all they really want them for is their money...

Slavery was used by the North to take Britain out of the equation. We should have split into two countries. Which one would Missouri have joined? Kentucky for that matter?
