RW> Eligible, but ran off to Canada: Yanks: 2,430,294, South: none

All your #'s can be compared to the game of baseball where one pitcher gives up
15 hits in a game yet still walks away with the victory. It's the final score
that counts.

Did I not explain all that in my original post (the one where you edited out
the economic reasoning). You play the game like FauxEntertainment... edit the
shit out of a story to make them seem intelligent.

So you own slaves Roy?

And the baton was passed to the southern Republicans of today.  Actually, ALL
