Wonder how the US would have panned out if the South did succeed...

You know damn well the Brits or the French woukld have LOVED to get their hands back on some "ass" (former colonies and territories)...you always want the "ass" that dissed you....

They would have been here in a heartbeat.....the French were very close to jumping in. And I was being partially facetious, but honestly during those times the Southern states had every right to just leave the union.....but all in all, I'm very happy it turned out the way it did. Can't imagine the US being split up.

Strictly speaking, it was the North which left. The Confederacy just wanted things to remain as they had been.

If I remember right, y'all lost a few critical battles and the French backed away. It really could have gone either way.

Even still the Brits and the Franch were licking their chops...had the South won, it would have meant a very weak North easy for the taking, and a weak South as well. I am glad it panned out the way it did...

Protesters have seized the streets of Cairo, battling police with stones and firebombs, burning down the ruling party headquarters, and defying a night curfew enforced by a military deployment. It is the peak of unrest posing the most dire threat to Mubarak in his three decades of authoritarian rule.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

There is a mockumentary out there, available on Netflix, that is a kind of humorous view of what would have happened had the Confederacy won the war of Northern Aggression.

This Cairo thing could be the spark of America/Israel vs. Arabs. It's their land, remember. Oh that's right, we don't care about such things.

WikiLeaks: U.S. Gov‘t ’Secretly Backed’ Egyptian Dissidents Plotting Regime Change
Secret U.S. diplomatic dispatches released by the WikiLeaks website seem to suggest that the American Embassy in Cairo was quietly aiding young Egyptian political dissidents who were plotting to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011, the UK’s Telegraph is reporting.

According to the Telegraph, American embassy officials helped at least one young dissident attend a U.S.-sponsored summit for political activists in New York while simultaneously working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police. Upon his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist reportedly told American diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups planned to overthrow Mubarack before the country’s 2011 national elections.

In addition, diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks show American officials pressuring the Egyptian government to release other dissidents who had been detained by police.

The US government has previously been a supporter of Mr Mubarak’s regime. But the leaked documents show the extent to which America was offering support to pro-democracy activists in Egypt while publicly praising Mr Mubarak as an important ally in the Middle East.

In a secret diplomatic dispatch, sent on December 30 2008, Margaret Scobey, the US Ambassador to Cairo, recorded that opposition groups had allegedly drawn up secret plans for “regime change” to take place before elections, scheduled for September this year.

The memo, which Ambassador Scobey sent to the US Secretary of State in Washington DC, was marked “confidential” and headed: “April 6 activist on his US visit and regime change in Egypt.”

It said the activist claimed “several opposition forces” had “agreed to support an unwritten plan for a transition to a parliamentary democracy, involving a weakened presidency and an empowered prime minister and parliament, before the scheduled 2011 presidential elections”. The embassy’s source said the plan was “so sensitive it cannot be written down”.

Ambassador Scobey questioned whether such an “unrealistic” plot could work, or ever even existed. However, the documents showed that the activist had been approached by US diplomats and received extensive support for his pro-democracy campaign from officials in Washington. The embassy helped the campaigner attend a “summit” for youth activists in New York, which was organised by the US State Department.

Cairo embassy officials warned Washington that the activist’s identity must be kept secret because he could face “retribution” when he returned to Egypt. He had already allegedly been tortured for three days by Egyptian state security after he was arrested for taking part in a protest some years earlier. …

The documents released by WikiLeaks reveal US Embassy officials were in regular contact with the activist throughout 2008 and 2009, considering him one of their most reliable sources for information about human rights abuses.

Fuck Lincoln....talking that shit and wouldn't let the South peacefully secede...

Lincoln and the Union became the ultimate in hypocrites when they declared war on the southern states. in the height of ironies, they simply replaced the tyranny of the english with their own tyranny as they babbled on about 'freedom' and 'heroically saving ~~their tyranny over all the states~~ the Union'

American TV media is running a reel of the same 100-500 people surrounded around a tank. What a joke. If this was as bad as "they" say, there would be massive amounts of people/footage of uprisings. The book/movie 1984 all over again $:-\$

I support the push for democracy in Egypt! But this uprising is not for democracy, this is a protest to get rid of Mubarak tomorrow! Ask any of the protesters what's the plan after that, they will all sit there and scratch their nuts unable to answer you. Mubarak as corrupt as he is kept the country stable, no wars, peace with israel, controlling the muslim brotherhood, keeping good ties with the US, foreign investment in Egypt, all things that benefited the country.

I want a change, but I don't want it like this, the city is in flames, looting, vandelism, and people taking 6 and 7 year olds to the protest. Its easy to jump on the bandwagon and say down with Mubarak, but use your head and look at the big picture.

And internet is still down there as well as cell phone service, land lines are still working though (I'm online because I'm studying and live in the US at the moment)
