What I don't understand is why the history textbooks accurately describe the American Revolution and the events leading up to the American Revolution, but the history books significantly taint the Civil War events (pre, during, and post). Lies, lies, and more lies.

we live in an even worse bureaucracy today. it seems guys like Hamiltion liked the British system, but not British rule.
the Articles of Confederation were barely in effect five years before the Federalists were clamoring for "stronger central government".
hopefully the next american revolution will put an end to this Federal system, 150 years of empire is more than enough for me. its time we listened to Jefferson b/c he predicted the very situation we're in today.

Everytime Lincolns birthday comes around on my calendar I scratch his sadistic name out and put George Washington (birthday was on the same day) a TRUE american.

branch can't enact new laws. It only carries out the will of the people. Lincoln was an asshole and a tyrant who gets credit for stuff he didn't even do. He died right after they were freed and no matter how much people toot he supported the amendment he didn't pass it. And there's an easy conclusion to his support. He wanted the deportation of the slaves and said twice in 2 of his 1860 speeches that if slavery was ever ended he would ship them all off somewhere else.

Easy, feds won't allow you to read or see anything that may make the individual doubt the current system or open peoples eyes to the fact that almost nothing the fed does is constitutional. (which started by Lincoln overstepping his constitutional bounds back in the day)They wanna keep you fat, lazy and supportive of the institution. They sit there and toot how lincoln was great and freed the slaves when in actuality it was done by congress not abe. Executive

Agreed, we all have to get together if we're going to fight the fed one individual or even one state ain't gonna be enough.
-
The fight must come through the power of the state. Lone gunman will end up in jail or dead.

Obama wants to trace your ammunition.

Well, all this about England restricting free trade in the colonies is one thing. It is indeed true. However, the taxes isn't a very strong arguement, least wise not the money aspect anyway. The Colonials were paying but a fraction of the total taxes and dues to that of their brothers in England itself. The problem wasn't money or anything else. They simply wanted to be self governing. They just thought they could do a better job on their own. Just like Dixie later on.

The point was that most Americans didn't believe in taxation of any kind ex cept a very small tarrif to pay for the bare necessitities of minimal government functions. Anything more than that they viewed as interference in their lives.

Oh I got the point. The point as the founders stated it was that they didn't believe in a system that can force them to pay taxes or do things without their "consent" However, I have heard so many people try to say that the taxes placed on the Colonials was going to break them when in fact that is an outright lie. They simply didn't think they should have to pay them and thought they ought to govern themselves. It wasn't the amount but the idea.

Ok, that's probably true - much more the principle than the amount.
